bahaar aai to jaisay yak baar
lauT aaey haiN phir adam say
vo Khvaab saaray, shabaab saaray
jo tairay honThoN pe mar miTay thay
jo miT ke har baar phir jiyay thay
nikhar gaey haiN gulaab saaray
jo teri yaadoN se mushk_bu haiN
jo teray ushhaaq kaa lahu haiN

ubal parray hain azaab saaray
malaal-e-ahvaal-e-dostaaN bhi
Khumaar-e-aaGhosh-e-mehvashaaN bhi
Ghubaar-e-Khaatir kay baab saaray
teray hamaaray
savaal saaray, javaab saaray
bahaar aai to khul gaey haiN
naey siray say hisaab saaray

Faiz Saahib’s Bahaar Aai and Eliot’s Wasteland–esp its first part, The Burial of the Dead–are the two poems i like to read again n again n again around this time of the year :–)

Thankhoo hayaa
