Adna sa admi hoon merey naam pe na ja

Pasadeeda tareen ghazlon mn se aik hey bohat khubsurti se ye ghazal buni gai hey khyalaat ka aik taweel silsila hey Jo is mn byan kia gya hey.

غزل

ادنیٰ سا آدمی ہوں میرے نام پر نہ جا
لوگوں نے دھر دیا ہے الزام پر نہ جا
ان رتجگوں کا حاصل الفاظ منتشر سے
مشکل سخن وری ہے اس کام پر نہ جا
انداز بے تکلف مگر گفتگو بے معنی
راہ طلب کی خیر ہو آرام پر نہ جا
جب قدم رکھا ہے اس دشت بے اماں میں
دیکھیں گے اب جو ہو گا انجام پر نہ جا
خورشید کی شعاعیں رخ یار تیرا جلوہ
دن بھی عجیب شے ہے محض شام پر نہ جا
ابتک جنون عزم و یقیں تیرے ساتھ ہے
اب زندگی پہ غور کر ابہام پر نہ جا
ترک وفا جو کی ہے تو تجدید عہد کیوں
پھنسوا نہ دے یہ حسرت پیغام پر نہ جا
دیکھا شکیل درد میں راحت کی آب و تاب
کچھ حال دل سنوار درو بام پر نہ جا

Translation:

I am a simple man; don’t be misled by my name,
People have wrongly accused me; don’t be deceived by the blame.
These sleepless nights have yielded only scattered words,
It’s difficult to be a poet; don’t take on this task.
A casual demeanor, but the conversation is meaningless,
May your journey of seeking be blessed; don’t take the easy path.
When I set foot in this dangerous wilderness,
We’ll see whatever happens; don’t worry about the outcome.
The rays of the sun, your face shines with light,
The day is a strange thing; don’t long for the night.
So far, the passion of determination and faith is with you,
Now reflect on life; don’t dwell on doubts.
If you’ve broken the promise of loyalty, why renew the vow?
Don’t let this desire entrap you; don’t send the message.
Shakeel saw the brilliance of comfort in pain,
Polish the state of your heart; don’t go to the rooftop to see.
