بھول گئے – جذ بی
پِھر عشرتِ ساحل یاد آئی ، پِھر شورشِ طوفاں بھول گئے
نیرنگیِ دوراں كے مارے ، نیرنگیِ دوراں بھول گئے
ہر منزل تھی دِل کی منزل ، جب دِل کو غم منزل نہ رہا
ہر کوچہ کوچۂ جاناں تھا، جب کوچۂ جاناں بھول گئے
نے کیفِ محبت کا عالم ، نے رقصِ وفا ، نے موجِ کرم
کیا وجہ جوازِ بادہ کشی ، ائے بادہ گساراں بھول گئے
اب صحنِ گلستاں میں جذبی، کھلتی ہی نہیں ہے کوئی کلی
آہنگِ نشاط آگیں شاید ، مرغانِ خوش الہاں بھول گئے
भूल गये – जज़्बी
फिर इशरत-ए साहिल याद आई, फिर शोरीश-ए तूफ़ां भूल गये
नैरंगी-ए दौरां के मारे, नैरंगी-ए दौरां भूल गये
हर मंज़िल थी दिल की मंज़िल, जब दिल को ग़म-ए मंज़िल ना रहा
हर कूचा कूचा-ए जानां था जब कूचा-ए जानां भूल गये
ने कैफ़-ए मोहब्बत का आलम, ने रक़्स-ए वफ़ा, ने मौज-ए करम
क्या वजह जुवाज़-ए बादा कशी, अए बादा गुसारां भूल गये
अब सहन-ए गुलिस्तां में जज़्बी खिलती ही नहीं है कोई कली
आहंग-ए निशात आगीं शाएद, मुर्ग़ान-ए ख़ुश अल्हां भूल गये

nairangi-e dauraaN3 ke maare, nairangi-e dauraaN bhool gaye1. comfort/safety of the shore 2. tumult/commotion of the storm 3. deception of the times
Things have changed. The old traditions of courage are lost. People (or perhaps other poets) have taken up the comfort of the shore forgetting the struggle of the storm. Those who were victims of the deception of the social order have now taken up that deception themselves.

They no longer have the passion for their goal/aim. So any minor achievement becomes just like heart’s desire. They have forgotten the street of the beloved, so any street will do.

They used to drink wine to celebrate the ecstacy of love, dance with joy at promises kept and/or because of waves of feelings of kindness/love for all. All of these are now gone. How come wine-drinkers have forgotten the justification of wine drinking.
