Hawa

kuchh to hawa bhi sard thi kuchh tha tera khayal bhi dil ko khushi ke sath sath hota raha malal bhi

in charaghon mein tel hi kam tha kyun gila phir hamein hawa se rahe

hawa khafa thi magar itni sang-dil bhi na thi hamin ko shama jalane ka hausla na hua

charagh ghar ka ho mahfil ka ho ki mandir ka hawa ke pas koi maslahat nahin hoti

khushbu ko phailne ka bahut shauq hai magar mumkin nahin hawaon se rishta kiye baghair tho fragrance is very fond, to spread around, increase this is nigh impossible, till it befriends the breeze

koi charag jalata nahin saliqe se magar sabhi ko shikayat hawa se hoti hai

kaun taqon pe raha kaun sar-e-rahguzar shahr ke sare charaghon ko hawa jaanti hai

mere suraj aa! mere jism pe apna saya kar badi tez hawa hai sardi aaj ghazab ki hai

hawa ho aisi ki hindostan se ai 'iqbaal' uda ke mujh ko ghubar-e-rah-e-hijaz kare the poet prays for a powerful, grace-like “wind” that can sweep him away from his present life in hindustan and take him to the sacred path of hijaz (the region of makkah–madinah). calling himself mere “dust” suggests humility and self-effacement, while the wind symbolizes spiritual force and destiny. the emotional core is yearning for closeness to holy places and inner renewal through the journey.

agarche zor hawaon ne dal rakkha hai magar charagh ne lau ko sambhaal rakkha hai

nahin hai mere muqaddar mein raushni na sahi ye khidki kholo zara subh ki hawa hi lage

chhed kar jaise guzar jati hai doshiza hawa der se khamosh hai gahra samundar aur main

falak par udte jate baadalon ko dekhta hun main hawa kahti hai mujh se ye tamasha kaisa lagta hai

ulat rahi thin hawaen waraq waraq us ka likhi gai thi jo mitti pe wo kitab tha wo

ek jhonka hawa ka aaya 'zeb' aur phir main ghubar bhi na raha

jurm-e-ulfat pe hamein log saza dete hain kaise nadan hain shoalon ko hawa dete hain

hawa to hai hi mukhalif mujhe daraata hai kya hawa se puchh ke koi diye jalata hai kya

tez hawa ne mujh se puchha ret pe kya likhte rahte ho

hawa darakhton se kahti hai dukh ke lahje mein abhi mujhe kai sahraon se guzarna hai

tere badan ki khalaon mein aankh khulti hai hawa ke jism se jab jab lipat ke sota hun

ye hawa yun hi khak chhanti hai ya koi chiz kho gai hai yahan

aaj lab-e-guhar-fishan aap ne wa nahin kiya tazkira-e-khajista-e-ab-o-hawa nahin kiya

mera kamal ki main is faza mein zinda hun du'a na milte hue aur hawa na hote hue

kyun na apni khubi-e-qismat pe itraati hawa phul jaise ek badan ko chhu kar aai thi hawa

hawa chali to koi naqsh-e-motabar na bacha koi diya koi baadal koi shajar na bacha

shajar se bichhda hua barg-e-khushk hun 'faisal' hawa ne apne gharane mein rakh liya hai mujhe

andesha hai ki de na idhar ki udhar laga mujh ko to na-pasand watire saba ke hain

hawa sahla rahi hai us ke tan ko wo shoala ab sharare de raha hai

ghutan to dil ki rahi qasr-e-marmarin mein bhi na raushni se hua kuchh na kuchh hawa se hua

hawa ke apne ilaqe hawas ke apne maqam ye kab kisi ko zafar-yab dekh sakte hain
