یہ فراموش عنایت Title:

کبہی رک کر محسوس کیا ہے آپنے،

وہ تھم سا گیا ہوائوں کو۔

کبھی رک کر احساس کیا ہے آپنے،

وہ سحر کی خاموشی کو۔

کبھی رک کر سونگھا ہے آپنے،

وہ شاداب کی خوشبو کو۔

کبھی رک کر سنا ہے آپنے،

وہ پرندوں کی چہچہاہٹ کو۔

کبھی رک کر دھیان دی ہے ،آپنے،

وہ سیاہی شب مٹنے کی ابتدا کو۔

کبھی رک کر دیکھا ہے ،آپنے، وہ آفتاب کی باریک شعائیں کو۔



(Transliteration)

Title: Yeh faraamosh inaayat

Kabhi rukh kar mehsoos kiya hai aapne,

Woh tam sa gaye hawaoon ko.

Kabhi rukh kar ehsaas kiya hai aapne, Woh sehar ki khamooshi ko.

Kabhi rukh kar soongha hai aapne,

Woh shadaab ki khushbu ko.

Kabhi rukh kar suna hai aapne, Woh parindon ki chehchahat ko.

Kabhi rukh kar dhyaan di hai aapne, Woh siyahi-e-shab mitne ki ibtida ko.

Kabhi rukh kar dekha hai aapne,

Woh aftaab ki bareek shuaaein ko.

(English Translation)

Title: This forgotten blessing

Have you ever stopped and felt,

Those paused like winds.

Have you ever stopped and realized,

Those silences of the dawn.

Have you ever stopped and smelled, Those scents of the garden.

Have your ever stopped and listened to, Those chirps of the birds.

Have you ever stopped and noticed, The dark night starting to disappear.

Have you ever stopped and saw, Those subtle rays of the sun.
