Ghazal
फ़िराक़ गोरखपुरी - किसी का यूं तो हुआ कौन
This ghazal is a poignant reflection on the transient nature of life and the enduring power of love. The poet suggests that although everything—including beauty and love—is deceptive and temporary, the memory and impact of a beloved persist. Despite the passage of time and change, the lingering presence of the beloved remains significant.

किसी का यूं तो हुआ कौन उम्र भर फिर भी
ये हुस्न-ओ-इश्क़ तो धोका है सब, मगर फिर भी
For someone, such things happen throughout life,
But this beauty and love, it is all a deceit, yet still.
It is common for such things to happen in life for someone, but this beauty and love is all a deceit, yet still.

हजार बार ज़माना इधर से गुजरा
नई नई है मगर कुछ तेरी रहगुज़र फिर भी
The world has passed by from here a thousand times,
Yet, even now, your path remains new to me.
The world has passed by from here a thousand times, yet your path still feels new to me.

खुशा इशारा-ए-पैहम, जेह-ए-सुकूत नज़र
दराज़ होके फ़साना है मुख्तसर फिर भी
What a subtle signal, what a silent gaze,
It is a long tale, yet brief in its display.
What a subtle signal, what a silent gaze, it is a long tale, yet brief in its display.

झपक रही हैं ज़मान-ओ-मकाँ की भी आँखें
मगर है काफ्ला आमादा-ए-सफर फिर भी
The eyes of time and place are blinking,
But the caravan of the journey is still arriving.
The eyes of time and place are blinking, but the caravan of the journey is still arriving.

पलट रहे हैं गरीबुल वतन, पलटना था
वोः कूचा रूकश-ए-जन्नत हो, घर है घर, फिर भी
The poor homeland is turning, it was meant to turn
That alleyway is the stopping point of paradise, it is home, even so
The poor homeland is turning, even though that alleyway is the stopping point of paradise, and it is still home.

तेरी निगाह से बचने में उम्र गुजरी है
उतर गया रग-ए- जां में ये नश्तर फिर भी
A lifetime has passed avoiding your gaze,
Yet this antidote has seeped into my lifeblood once more.
A lifetime has passed avoiding your gaze, yet this antidote has seeped into my lifeblood once more.
