She dried her tears and they did smile
To see her cheeks’ returning glow
How little dreaming all the while
That full heart throbbed to overflow…

Very old are the woods;
And the buds that break
Out of the brier’s boughs,
When March winds wake…

I count each day a little life,
With birth and death complete;
I cloister it from care and strife
And keep it sane and sweet…

Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi

ab tak to nuur-o-niKhat-o-rang-o-sadaa kahuu.N

vo gul kahe.n jise mai.n teraa naqsh-e-paa kahuu.N

ab justajuu hai terii jafaa ke javaaz kii
jii chaahataa hai tujh ko vafaa aashnaa kahuu.N

sirf is ke liye ke ishq isii kaa zahuur hai
mai.n tere husn ko bhii sabuut-e-vafaa kahuu.N

Mohabbat ki shamma jalake to dekho,
Zara dil ki duniya saja kar to dekho,
Tumhe ho na jaaye mohabbat to kehna,
Zara humse nazaren milake to dekho.

Kaash dil ki awaz ka itna asar ho jaaye
Hum unhe yaad karen
Aur unhe khabar ho jaaye .

Jab bhi apse milne ki takdeer nazar ayi
Mujhe pavon main bandhi zanjeer nazar ayi
Teri yaad main nikal pare mere aansu
Har aansu main teri tasveer nazar ayi.
