SUNSET , DAL LAKE AND FOUNTAINS

                                            

Sham Hotee Hai Sehar Hotee hai Ye Waqte Ravaan,

Jo Kabhi sar pe mere Sange Garaan Ban ke Giraa,
Raah Me Aaya Kabhi Meri Himaala ki Tarah,
Jo kabhi ukda Banaa aissa ki Hal hi Na Hua,
Ashq ban kar meri Aankho se kabhi Tapka hai,
Jo Kabhi Khoone Jiger ban ki Mizshgaan par Aaya,
Aaj Be waasta yun Guzra Chala Jaata Hai,
Jaise Mein Kashm-kash e Zeest Me Shaamil Hi Nahin"

(Akhtar Ul Imaan )



"O! the mornings and the evenings of this fleeting time !
This time which proved like a huge boulder placed on my head.
At times it came in my way like the Himalaya ,
Turned so obstinate that no solution could be visualized,
Dropped from my eyes as tears ,
Went up to my eyelashes as the pain of my Heart,
This time known to me till yesterday ,
moves past me today like a stranger,

as if ,
I do not belong to the crowds struggling for existence.
