Zulm

Mohabbat

Ihsaan Want

Once you dive in, there's no coming back



Dewaarun mein qaed thay hum darwaza tunay lagaya

Apne Aalam mein khoye thay hum rooh ko tunai tadpaya

Khaali aaye thay duniya-e-faani mein, aur khaali laut jayenge

Zindagi mein aakey is baat ko tunai jhutlaya

Aur woh legaye ek pal mein rooh ka chayn

Hum ussey humari duniya kehte hai

Unke muskurane ka andaaz aur unki aankhun ki chamak

Bas tammah ye hai ki har pal unke saath rehte 

Jitna sonche ka uske baarey mein utna hi yaad ayega woh Ahsaan

Aisa samajh ki woh haqeeqat nahi, balki khwab ka ek jhonka tha.

 

Zaalim

Ihsaan Want

The people you meet are backbiters; Keep calm and have faith in God.


Manzar-e-aatish aur na dikha zaalim
Dil-e-zaar ko aur na jala zaalim

 Jo aashiyane nazar aatay thay pehley zaalim
Abh apna aashiyana bhi khandar ho chuka hai zaalim

 Chuppey ko dard na samajh zaalim
Khamoshi ko gham na samajh zaalim

 Girray huye ko neech na samajh zaalim
Kamiyaab ko buland na samajh zaalim

 Lammas ko pak na samajh zaalim
Shamma ko noor na samajh zaalim

 Samandarun mai toh lay gaya Ahsaan
Taerna magar nahi sikhaya zaalim

 

Talaash

Ihsaan Want

Keep finding till your last breathe; you'll definitely find it.

Kuch pal ki khushi milegi sahi, talaash kar
Kuch pal ka sakoon milay ka sahi, talaash kar

 Shab ki raat mein sitaaray milay gay sahi, talaash kar
Neelay aasmaa mein aaftaab milay ga sahi, talaash kar

 Masjid mein khuda milay ga sahi, talaash kar
Kitaabun mein noor milay ga sahi, talaash kar

 Khudi mein kaamiyabi milay gi sahi, talaash kar
Dua'oon mai shifah milay gi sahi, talaash kar

 Talaash kar jo mil na sake, talaash kar
Talaash kar jo paa na sake, talaash kar

 Pahadun mai bulandi milay gi sahi talaash kar
Ahsaan samandarun mein gehraai milay gi sahi talaash kar

Zulm

Ihsaan Want

The worldly desires tear you apart from devotion;


Kitnay zulmu sai sataya gaya hu mai
Kitnay tareequn se phasaya gaya hun mai

"In how many ways am I tortured
In how many ways am I betrayed"

Duniya ki aiy'ashiyun mai chupaya gaya hun mai
Galat fehmiyun ka shikaar banaya gaya hun mai

"I am being forced to hide in the worldly desires
I am framed as the culprit of misconceptions"

Ab toh aata nahi taras Ahsaan khud par
Kin kin museebatun mai auljhaya gaya hun mai

Ahsaan, I don't anymore care about myself
In infinite trials I am put in"

Akailay

Ihsaan Want

Fake promises and real betrayals; They always lied!

 Muflisi mai guzari saari zindigi
Na kabhi kisi ka haath liya

 I spent all my life wandering about in lost spaces
Never begged before someone

Hum duniya mai aaye akele toh sahi
Na kabhi kisi nai humara saath diya

 I came to earth alone, indeed
But no one ever helped me

Abh aadat si hogayi hai akele baithne ki
Maut si khamoshi zindigi mai chaii hai

 I am now used to sit alone
There's silence in my life, death is approaching

Na mere dil aur na rooh ko chayn hai
Deedar e Qabar karte; kaul yahi bas ek hai

 My heart and soul both are in pain
They want the arrival of death

Asliyat jan gai hai duniya ki Ahsaan
Na tha koi tumhara aur na ho sake ga koi

 I have realized the truth of worldly desires
No one was with you, no one will ever be with you

Kamzoriyan

Ihsaan Want

I believed in them, they plotted; Enemies became friends and friends became foe!


Woh meri kamzori ban chuka tha
Ghalib hua tha dil par

 They became my lifeline
Built palaces in my heart

Waqt kai saath saath badal gaya
Ban ke reh gaya aayi'na woh zaalim

 With time, they changed
Just became a memory, that killed me every moment

Khamosh jo hum thay
Baatay bohat kuch keh gayi

 My silence was felt
Yet my words were enjoyed

Aansu jo meray niklay
Shabnam kai zarray reh gaye

Falling of my tears
Were the dew that searched for sunlight

Yaad thay hum usko
Bola na magar kuch

 They always remembered me
But never gave a sign

Dil mai doori badhti gayi
Soncha na magar kuch

 They castles they built started falling apart
No one ever considered it a concern

Tarras te thay hum roshni ki har ek kiran ko
Ab saatarun ki chamak ke liye tarras te hai

Long ago I waited for each and every ray of sun
Now I am in the quest of star shine

Bhool na chahtay thay usko
Magar ye baat bhool jatay thay

I always tried to forget them
But forgot to forget them

Ahsaan doobay toh sahi
Lekin taerna nahi aata tha

 You dived into the ocean
But never knew how to swim


Intezaar

Ihsaan Want

Don't wait, just do it;

Phoolun kai khilnay ka intezaar mat kar
Kuch phool bina khile mehektay hai

Aasman mein aaftaab ka intezaar mat kar
Kuch sitaaray raat ko bhi chamaktey hai

Kushi ka intezaar mat kr
Kuch log gham mai hi nikhartey hai

Kamiyaabi ka intezaar mat kar
Kuch hastiyan nakaamiyun mai bhi jhalakti hai

Tareefun ka intezaar mat kar
Kuch bulandiyan shikastun mai bhi bhadakti hai

Ahsaan kuch kehney ka intezaar mat kar
Kuch aawazay khamoshiyun mai bhi sunayi deti hai

beneath

  flesh and blood, gaze beneath, shadows creep, nails beneath, writer’s paradise? share beneath, all oceans, sail beneath, perhaps to pause, and rethink, let it sink, and crawl beneath, pyramid of dreams, sand beneath, you stand tall, sky beneath? you climb, world beneath, ponder, once, what have you lost? eerie nights, but roses beneath, skin and bones, yet lush beneath, you walk, but a creek beneath, shallow, yet you freak beneath, and all that, yet you leave life beneath? -ihsaan, always

Sunflowers

I turn my attention towards you as the sunflowers turn their necks towards the sun. My life is an endless stream of water feeding your garden, an endless row of trees shading your house, and perhaps an endless night holding you - my qamar. If words would do justice to how beautiful you are, I would have to teach eight billion people a new subject - a new revelation. Buried inside my letters are words that merely describe your outline, with each shadow of my so black stroke gently gliding over adjectives to suit you. My ink, O my beloved ink loves you more than I do, for when I get tired of framing sentences - the ink structures paragraphs against my will. Shallow. Shallow I thought my love would be, for when I saw you, you reminded me of my mother. Your eyes hold a million treasures and a million dreams, and those dreams, their own stories. I wish to be just one of those million stories, even if it is of less importance inasmuch as you remember me. Your love by Allah has n...

A letter for you

To my forever, yes you, Some days back I started wondering what would be an ideal definition for love. What is that makes people fall in love? How come two strangers, no connection, no history all of a sudden just connect? How is this different from attraction? Is it attraction that makes people fall in love? How can one put all of this in words? How can one distinguish attraction apart from love, and vice versa? How do I outline an answer for these questions? What love is and what love isn’t how do I gauge it? How do I put a range on it? Is my scale of understanding wide enough? Then I look at you, and all these questions evaporate like water on a hot pedestal. Love is immeasurable, it is uncountable. It cannot be taught, yet it is learnt. It is not an exercise, it is a responsibility. It isn’t planted, it is born. It has no shape, yet it is beautiful. It has no degree, yet it is worshipped. How Rumi describes love is how I feel; I am filled with you. Skin, blood, bone, brain, and sou...
