Na Samato'n mein tapash ghuley na nazar ko waqf-e-azaab kar

Na Samato'n mein tapash ghuley na nazar ko waqf-e-azaab kar
Jo sunaaii dey usey chup sikha jo dikhaaii dey usey khwaab kar

Abhi muntashi na ho ajnabi na wisaal rutt key karam jatta
Jo teri talash mein gum hoye kabhi un dinon ka hisaab kar

Meray sabr pe koi ajr kya meri dopehar pey yeh abr kyon
Mujhey orhnay dey aziyatien meri aadatien na kharaab kar

Kahien aablon key bhanwar bajien kahien dhoop roop badan sajien
Kabhi Dil ko thall ka mizaaj dey kabhi chashm-e-tar ko chanaab kar

Yeh hajoom-e-Sitam-Garaa'n na suney ga teri sada kabhi
Meri hasratOn ko sukhn suna meri khwaahishon sey khetaab kar

Yeh jaloos-e-fasl-e -bahaar hai tahii dasta yaar saja esey
koi ashk phir sey sharar bana koi zakhm phir sey gulaab kar

Flying without wings!!Ayse chup hain k ye manzil bhi khari ho jesy

I hope to once know the meaning of this poem and as far as it shows to me, it looks nice. I see it is a ghazal in urdu. Muhabbat might be the name of the poet?

Mohabat means love:)

Adonis, thanks for dropping by, translating poetry into another language is the hardest thing to do. especially for someone like me whose English language skills are worst than 10th grad student. Urdu poetry is awesome. I have tried to translate few poems from Pashto (my mother tongue) into urdu and it was a complete disaster. and this ghazal is pretty hard to grasp even in urdu.
