SUNSET VIEW AND LINES FROM A POEM OF ALI SARDAR JAFRI

QATL E  AFTAAB 

Shafq ke rang me hai

qatl e aftaab ka rang ,

Uffaq ke dil me hai khanjar
lahu- luhaan hai shaam. 
Safed sheesha e noor
Aur Siyaah baarish e sang,
Zameen se Ta Ba falaq
hai buland Raat ka Naam .
Yakeen Ka zikr hee kyaa
ki Ab gumaan bhi Nahin,
Maqaam e dard nahin
Manzil e Fugaan Bhi nahin.
Woh Be Hissi Hai jo 
Qaabil e bayaan Bhi nahin.
Koi tarang hi baaki 
rahee na koi Umang,
Jabeen e shauq nahin 
Sang e Aastaan bhi nahin.
Raqeeb jeet gaye 
Khatm ho Chukee hai Jung,
Hazaar Lub Se Zameen 
Keh Rahee hai Kissa e Dard,
Hazaar Gosh e Junoon
suun rahein hain afsaana .
Dilon Me Sholaa e Gham
Bujh gayaa hai Kyaa keejiye ,
Koi haseen nahin
Kis se Ab Wafaa Kejiye .


Sivaa iss ke ki Qaatil ko hi Duaa Keejiye.
