سورج بنتا ہے تارِ زر سے
دنیا کے لیے ردائے نوری
Suraj bunta hai tar-e-zar se
Duniya ke liye rida-e-nuri
عالم ہے خموش و مست گویا
ہر شے کو نصیب ہے حضوری
Aalam hai khamosh o mast goya
Har shai ko nasib hai huzuri
دریا، کہسار، چاند، تارے
کیا جانیں فراق و ناصبوری
Darya, kuhsar, chand, tare
Kya janen firaq o nasaburi
شایاں ہے مجھے غمِ جدائی
یہ خاک ہے محرمِ جدائی
Shayan hai mujhe gham-e-judai
Ye khak hai mahram-e-judai

A short poem on separation. The sun weaves a cloak of golden light for the world, and everything seems silent, content and present. Rivers, mountains, the moon and stars know nothing of longing; the grief of separation belongs to man, made of dust.
Short quotes only (up to characters): the book stays the author’s. Line breaks are kept — good for couplets.
