Nasir Kazmi's ghazal: Dil to meraa udaas hai...


Nasir Kazmi [1925-1972] was born in Ambala in British India in 1925. Kazmi was influenced by Mir Taqi Mir.

Over the years his literary standing has increased and critics now rank him alongside the all time great poets of Urdu. He passed away in Pakistan in 1972.

Read his ghazal:

कौन इस राह से गुज़रता है
दिल यूं ही इंतिज़ार करता है

देख कर भी न देखने वाले
दिल तुझे देख देख डरता है

शहर-ए-गुल में कटी है सारी रात
देखिए दिन कहाँ गुज़रता है

ध्यान की सीढियों पे पिछले पहर
कोई चुपके से पांव धरता है

दिल तो मेरा उदास है नासिर
शहर क्यूँ साएँ साएँ करता है

नासिर काज़मी


Now read the ghazal in Roman English


kaun is raah se guzartaa hai
dil yuuN hii intizaar kartaa hai

dekh kar bhii na dekhne vaale
dil tujhe dekh dekh Dartaa hai

shahar-e-gul meN kaTii hai saarii raat
dekhiye din kahaaN guzartaa hai

dhyaan kii siiDhiyoN pe pichhle pahar
koii chupke se paaoN dhartaa hai

dil to meraa udaas hai naasir
shahar kyuuN saaeN saaeN kartaa hai

Nasir Kaazmi
