Jan nisar akhtar biography of rory

fazaon mein hai subah ka rang taari, 

Gai hai abhi Girls College ki laari.

Gai hai abhi goonjti, gungunaati, 

Zamane ki raftaar ka raag gaati.

Lachakti hui si, chhalakti hui si, 

Bahakti hui si, mahakti hui si.

Wo sadkon pe phoolon ki dhaari si banti, 

Idhar se udhar se hasino ko chunti.

Jhalakte vo sheeshe mein shaadab chehre, 

Vo kaliyan si khulti hui muh andhere.

Vo maathe pe saadi ke rangin kinare, 

Sahar se nikalti shafaq ke ishare.

Kisi ki ada se ayaan khushmazaqi, 

Kisi ki nigahon mein kuch neend baqi.

Kisi ki nazar mein mohabbat ke dohe, 

Sakhi ri ye jeevan piya bin na sohe.

Ye khidki ka rangin sheesha girae, 

Vo sheeshe se rangin chehra milae.

Ye chalti zameen pe nigahen jamati, 

Vo honton mein apne qalam ko dabati.

Ye khidki se ek haath bahar nikale, 

Vo zaanu pe girti kitaaben sambhale.

Kisi ko vo har baar tevari si chadhti, 

Dukaanon ke takhte adhoore se padhti.

Koi ek taraf ko simat ti hui si, 

Kinare ko saadi ke batti hui si.

Vo laari mein gunje hue zamzame se, 

Dabi muskurahat subuk qahqahaye se.

Vo lahzon mein chandi khanakti hui si, 

Vo nazron se kaliyan chatakti hui si.

Saroon se vo aanchal dhalakti hui si, 

Vo shaanon se saagar chhalakti hui si.

Jawaani nigahon mein bhaki hui si, 

Mohabbat takhayyul mein bhaki hui si.

Vo aapas ki chhedein, vo jhoote fasane, 

Koi unki baaton ko kaise na maane.

Fasana bhi unka, tarana bhi unka, 

Jawaani bhi unki, zamana bhi unka.
