Urdu Poetry

 Sha'id abhi hai raakh mein ko'ee sharaar bhi
Kyun warna intezar bhi hai izteraar bhi

Dhy'aan aa gaya hai marg-e-dil-e-na muraad ka
Milne ko mil gaya hai sukoo.n bhi qaraar bhi

Ab dhoond-ne chaley ho musafir ko dosto.n
Had-e-niga'ah tak na reha jab ghubaar bhi

Ik raah ruuk gaee to thi-thak kyun gaee "Ada"
Aabad bastia.n hain paha.dhon ke paar bhi !
                                             (Ada Jaffery)
