Akhtar Jawad Ghazal Poems

Fly like a kite in the passion of storms,
Why don't you love and enjoy its charms.
Sink yourself in the ocean of two eyes,
Life is between two lovely soft arms.
...

Mana ke roshini teri taron main lajawab hay,
Akhtar-e-sham bujh bhi ja aamade mah-e-tab hay.
Kaisi giran muhabbaten jane kahan lutai haiyn,
Akhtar yeh dil bhi aap ka bigra huwa nawab hay.
...

Not important sweetheart what your brain concedes,
Important is the truth of your heart it feeds.
Not important sweetheart, how much knowledge you have,
Important is application when you sow its seeds.
...

Qurbaten faslon mein badal to gaeen yad lekin na dil se nikal pai hay,
Ishq ka rog hay husn ka sog hay yeh tabiat na ab tak sambhal pai hay.
Maine koshish bahut ki magar keya karoon zindagi dheere dheere na chal pai hay,
Chal chalao hay is zindagi ka magar teri chahat na dil se nikal pai hay.
...

You smile sweetheart many flowers sprung,
Wordsworth and Shelley and Keats are sung.
Tide of beauty brings out many pearls,
Ugliness sweeps out like dirt and dung.
...

Jo shaiy apnon mein unqua hay who beganon mein milti hay,
Muhabbat darhaqueequat sirf deewanon mein milti hay.
Farishta jurm karta hay to sharminda nahin hota,
Khataon per pasheemani to insanon mein milti hay.
...

Jo guzar gai woh thi zindigi jo guzar rahi woh sawal hay,
Tum ise bhi kahte ho zindigi yeh to apna apna khyal hay.
Ye hawa ke jhonke kabhi kabhi yeh jo gugdgudi si lagate hayn,
Kabhi rote rote jo hans pada in hawaon ka yeh kamal hay.
...

Mujhko to bas woh usi waqt hi lagte hain bhale,
Roothe hote hain manata hoon woh milte hain gale.
Woh bure to nahin lekin bahut ache bhi nahin,
Aa to jate hain magar aate hi kehte hain chale.
...

Woh ek shakhs jo hamraz-o-hamnasheen tha mera,
Jise main apna samajhta raha, nahin tha mera.
Jo le uda tha qurar aur chain dil se mere,
Sukoon-e-dil bhi wohi dard-e-dilnasheen tha mera.
...

When a voice is not heard it's nicely seen,
When ears are inactive my eyes are keen.
In all my senses it's touch instrumental,
Sixth sense of the soul is a touch unseen.
...

Life that is past in love is life, nothing is rest,
It's good it's better no doubt is the best.
Two birds ignorant what happens in the world,
Satisfied, content and happy in the nest!
...

Your meetings are nice but separation is a boon,
I talk to stars and walk with the moon,
While jogging on the tracks of the Milky Ways,
I search a place for our honeymoon.

Zidigi ay zindigi tujhse main ukta geya,
Yeh jagah hay kaun si main kahan per aa geya.
Apnon ne ayse dukh diye jinka beyan mumkin nahin,
Keya kahoon kisse kahun keya kho geya keya pa geya.
...

Khushi o gham ki dhoop chaon kitni khushgawar hay,
Kabhi theen unse ranjishen aur aaj kitna peyar hay.
Yeh kaun aa geya yehan ke bam-o-dar chamak uthe,
Hawa bhi kutch mehek gai fiza bhi lalazar hay.
...

Jab aankhein batien karne lagen khamoshi achi lagti hay,
Ab hosh ko rakh kar keya karna behoshi achi lagti hay.
Koi hosh urane wala ho aur aur toot ke chahne wala ho,
Aur shanon pe zulfein bikhri hon madhoshi achi lagti hay.
...

You are in habit of avoiding me often?
But you are in habit of loving me often!
I am in habit of erasing me in love,
for erasing I love writing me often.
...

Woyese to hum mile na kahin, ajnabi se they,
Rishte na jane kaise kahan ke kabhi ke they.
Dekha jo unko aankhon ne chupke se keya kaha,
Alam ajeeb dil pe mere bebasi ke they.
...

Khudshanasi khuda shanasi hay,
Aagahi phir bhi kitni peyasi hay.
Phir muhanbbat ki yad aai hay,
Jazba taza hay rooh basi hay.

Aainon ko tootte dekha isi mehfil mein hay,
Keya bataoon aap ko Keya mere is dil mein hay.
Hamnasheen main tujhko apna dil dikha sakta nahin,
Dagh tere nakhunon jaisa bhi ek is dil mein hay.
...

Keyun pagalon ki tarah use dhoondhta hay ji,
Na janta hay usko na pahchanta hay ji,
Keyun tere pas rahne ko un chahta hay ji,
Ab tak samajh na paya ke keya mangta hay ji.
...

Love is my habit I am helpless sweetheart,
Wish in your heart I get access sweetheart.
I'll not let you go you are prisoner of heart,
Pass a few days of recess lifelong sweetheart.
...

جاتے جاتے کچھ سنتے جائیں 
کیا جانے کب لوٹ كے آئیں. 
سنتے سنتے کچھ کہتے جائیں ، 
ایسے تو نہ آنکھیں چرائیں. 
...

Aur hain koi jo sarshar huwe jate hain,
Hum to bas yun hi gunahgar huwe jate hain.
Bebasihaye muhabbat ke mile gham jinse,
Wohi monis wohi gham khawar huwe jate hain.
...

Khuloos-o-mehr mite dosti ko maut aai,
Yeh kaisi aag lagi roshni ko maut aai.
Woh jazba jisse haseen lag raha tha aaina,
Kahan geya ke meri dilkashi ko maut aai.
...

Bujhte huye chiragh ko phir se jala geya,
Jhonka hawa ka yad tumhari dila geya.
Apnon ki ghaireyat ka bahut dukh raha magar,
Ek ghair keya mila ke harek dukh bhula geya.

Teri namaz aur hay meri namaz aur.
Kahte ho jisko Ishq woh dikhta nahin mujhe,
Meri muhabbaton ke nashebo faraz aur.

Rat ke pardon mein sahmi si mulaqat nahin,
Ek muddat se woh mehke hue din rat nahin.
Teri madhosh jawani ki inayat nahin,
Shokh nazron mein woh rangeen isharat namin.

Kutch gham woh mile ke tadap uththe, kutch aise mile jo sah bhi gaye,
Chand aansu humne pee daley chand peetey peetey bah bhi gaye.
Toofan na jane kitne uthe sab jhele humne chup hi rahe,
Aankhon ke ubalte ashkon se hum apne fasane kah bhi gaye.
...

Ay kash mujhe wuh neend aaye jo rat mein phir na toote kabhi,
subh ko jab main so ke uthoon wuh bichde mujhe mil jaen sabhi.
Han abbhi jag raha hoon main jane keyun neend aati nahin,
lekin tum keyun jagte ho aa jao sula doon tumko abhi.
...

Dil ne chaha ke suna doon use main bhi batein,
Yad aane lageen guzri hui bheegi ratein.
Aaj chingarian sholon mein badal jane do,
Aa bhi jao, na chali jaen sulagti ratein.

My soul smiles with the flowers of your love,
Pleasant and soothing are the showers of your love.
I can go any time but I don't know why,
I love this cage in the towers of your love.

Aa hale dil pe thode se aansoo baha ke dekh,
Main hans padoon agar to mujhe muskura ke dekh.
Yeh aankhen muskuraen gi inko mila ke dekh,
Yeh dil bhi hans pade ga ise gudguda ke dekh,
...

Yeh Wohi ghar hay ke jismen kabhi hum rahte they,
Han kabhi aap ke Akhtar pe karam rahte they.
Aao is dil mein zara jhank ke dekho to sahi,
Yeh woh mandir hay ke isme bhi sanam rahte they.
