Dr. Alim Usmani Poems

Meraj-e-kamal-e-naaz pe jab ehsas-e-jamal aa jata hai,
Dariya se bagole uthte hain, Sahra me ubaal aa jata hai.

Do chaar nashemann jalne se kuch harj nahi yu'n to lekin,
...

Mashraban hum mohabbat ke darvesh hain kab se zulfon ke jangal me rahte hain hum.
Arizon ki tajalli se sarshar hain pak mangon ke sandal me rahte hain hum.

Hum se bezar rahti hain betabiya'n hum to taqseem karte hain madhoshiya'n.
...

Maikhane me saqi ka karam aam nahi hai.
Jannat me bhi har shaks ko aram nahi hai.

Tu ponchle is chand ke chehre ka pasina.
...

Chaman me kaun se hangam-e-rang-o-bu na huye,
Magar jo chaak gareban the wo rafu na huye.

Wahi ki rasm-e-mohabbat thi munhasar jin par,
...

Charagh sham se akhir jalaen kis ke lie.
Koi na aeyega ankhen bichhaen kis ke lie
.
Khincha khincha nazar ata hai hamse har anchal.
...

Ham band kabhi mashghala e gham na karenge.
Ham tark kabhi sunnate Adam na karenge.

Bharkegi wo ab aag ke mar jaenge dono.
...

Ab jam nigahon ke nasha kyno nahi dete.
Ab bol mohabbat ke maza kyno nahi dete.

Tum khol ke zulfon ko uda kyno nahi dete.
...

Meraj-e-kamal-e-naaz pe jab ehsas-e-jamal aa jata hai,
Dariya se bagole uthte hain, Sahra me ubaal aa jata hai.

Do chaar nashemann jalne se kuch harj nahi yu'n to lekin,
...

Saikadon zahr-e-gham apni dunya me hain tishnagi jab sataegi pi lenge ham.
Tum hamari taraf se paresha'n na ho hamne tae kar liya hai ki ji lenge ham.

Jo gham-e-zindagi se hain sahme hue qabil-e-maut hain tu unhen maut de.
...

Dil mera dard ki rajdhani raha.
Mera chehra magar arghwani raha.

Mere saghar me ek qatra-e-mae nahin.
...
