ROZ EK SHER

कायनाते-दिल में ये गाता हुआ कौन आ गया
हर तरफ़ तारे से बरसाता हुआ कौन आ गया
चार जानिब फूल बिखराता हुआ कौन आ गया
ये मुझे नींदों से चौंकाता हुआ कौन आ गया
-अहमद नदीम क़ासमी

kaayanaate-dil mein ye gaataa huaa kaun aa gayaa
har taraf taare se barasaataa huaa kaun aa gayaa
chaar jaanib phuul bikharaataa huaa kaun aa gayaa
ye mujhe niindon se chaunkaataa huaa kaun aa gayaa
--Ahmed Nadim Qasimi

Who has come singing into the world of my heart?
Who has come sprinkling stars in all directions?
Who has come showering all four directions with blossoms?
Who has come to arouse me from my slumbers?
