Hearing the clamour about the new moon...Shor e maah-i-nau..

1.Shor-e-mah-e-nau sun kar tujh tak main dawaaN aaya

Saqi main tere sadqay, mai day, Ramazan aaya!



2.Is gul kay siwa har phool baagosh giraaN aaya

Dekhe hi gee ay bulbul jab waqt-e-faghaaN aaya



3.Jab baam-e-tajjali par woh naiyyar-e-jaaN aaya

sar thaa jo gira jhuk kar, dil thaa jo tapaaN aaya



4.Jannat ko Haram samjha aatay to yahaaN aaya

Ab tak kay har aik ka munH kehta hoon kahaaN aaya?



5.Taiyyiba ke siwa sab baagh paamaal-e-fanaa hongay

Dekho gay chaman walo jab ahd-e-khizaaN aaya!



6.Sar aur woh sang-e-dar, aankh aur woh bazm-e-noor

Zaalim ko watan ka dhyaan aaya to kahaaN aaya



7.kuchh naat ke tabqay ka aalam hi niraala hai

sakta mein paRee hai `aql,chakkar mein gumaaN aaya!



8.jalti thi zameen kaisee thi, dhoop kaRee kaisee

lo, woh qad-e-bay-saaya ab saaya-kinaaN aaya!



9.Taiyyiba se hum aatay hain kehiye to jinaaN waalo

Kya dekh kar jeeta hai jo waaN se yahaN aaya!



10.lay tawq-e-alam say ab aazaad ho ay qumri

chiTThee liye bakhshish ki woh Sarwar rawaaN aaya



11.Naama say Raza kay ab miT buray kaamo

dekh meray pallah par woh Acchay Mian aaya



12.Badkaar Raza khush ho bad kaam bhalay hongay

Woh Acchay Mian pyaara acchoN ka miyaaN aaya!



1. Hearing the clamour about the new moon, I, rushing to you have

come!

O` Saqi, I will forever be yours, bring me some wine, Ramadan has

come!



2. With the exception of this one rose, every flower with deafening

silence will come!

This the nightingale shall see, when the time of sorrow does come!



3. When that darling of my life did reveal his Divine Light`s peak!

Every head fell down, bowed, every heart did feverish become!



4. Having mistaken Paradise for Madina, here I have come!

Now looking at every face, I ask "whither have I come?!"



5. Except for Madina all gardens will become annihilated, trampled!

You will see this O` denizens of the garden, when winter does come!



6. The head and the stones of that abode, the eyes and that place of

light!

The ingrate is thinking of his homeland after here having come!



7. The art of writing poetry in the Prophet`s honour is unique indeed!

The intellect has become dazed, dizzy has the imagination become!



8. How the ground beneath did burn, how fierce was the heat!

Here! That Shadowless Prophet has a cool shadow for us become!



9. I have just come from Madina O` dwellers of Paradise

How does one survive, who from there to here does come?!



10. There! Be freed now from the ring of pain O` carrier-pigeon!

With a letter of forgiveness in his hand, that Chieftain has come!

(sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam)



11. Be erased from Raza`s Tablet of Deeds o` bad works!

Look! Here to my aid my Acchay Mian has come!



12. Be happy Raza all bad things will be transformed into good!

That beloved Acchay Mian, master of all good people has come!
