us ne ruKh se haTaa ke baalo.n ko
Syed Shafaz Shah Chishti

us ne ruKh se haTaa ke baalo.n ko
raastaa de diyaa ujaalo.n ko

[ruKh=face; ujaalaa=light/brightness]

jaate jaate jo mu.D ke dekh liyaa
aur uljhaa diyaa Khayaalo.n ko

[uljhaanaa=to create confusion/complication]

ek halkii sii muskuraahaT se
us ne hal kar diyaa savaalo.n ko

[halkii=slight; muskuraahaT=smile]
[hal karanaa=to solve; savaal=question]

mar gaye ham to dekh lenaa "Shafaq"
yaad aaye.nge husn vaalo.n ko

[Shafaq=twilight]
