la’alan de Kan/لعلاں دی کان
Mehrab Khawar (محراب خاور) is a distinguished poet whose poetry (شاعری) holds a prominent place in literature (ادب). I have been acquainted with his remarkable personality for the past ten years. It is said that a verse (شعر) is a reflection of a poet’s true self.
The philosophy (فلسفہ) and mysticism (تصوف) in Mehrab Khawar’s (محراب خاور) poetry contain unique symbols and deep meanings that set him apart from all other poets (except for great poets like Allama Iqbal (علامہ اقبال)). For instance, when Mehrab Khawar (محراب خاور) wrote about “Adam” (آدم), he depicted dust/clay (خاک) in such a way that every reader could vividly experience their own greatness (عظمت), rise and fall (بلندی و پستی), and the mysteries of creation (تخلیق), as if these were living images before them.Mehrab Khawar (محراب خاور) presents Adam from every era in the form of the eternal Adam (ازلی آدم). His spiritual poetry (روحانی شاعری) is reminiscent of how Allama Iqbal (علامہ اقبال) infused the essence of Rumi (رومی) into his work. His book “Lalaan Di Kaan” (لعلاں دی کان) is a literary masterpiece (ادبی شاہکار) that, when read with an open heart and mind, reveals that the poet has transcended his own existence into another spiritual (روحانی) form.He crafts pearls of wisdom (حکمت) from dark soil and presents them to the seekers of spiritual wisdom (عرفان). My prayer is that Allah Almighty (اللہ تعالیٰ), for the sake of Prophet Muhammad PBUH (سرکارِ دو عالم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم), elevates his thought-provoking verses (فکر انگیز کلام) and makes them a source of Sufism and Gnosis (تصوف و معرفت) for true seekers. Ameen (آمین).

Sach di garhati/سچ دی گڑھتی
My grandfather, Ustad Ash-Shu’ara Ustad Chiragh Din, known as “Ishq Lehr” (عشق لہر), was a renowned poet. After his passing in 1948, I began reciting his poetry at gatherings, which earned me recognition. In 1970, my friends encouraged me to start writing my own poetry, and soon, I was able to establish my own identity. Most of my success is attributed to my grandfather, Ishq Lehr (عشق لہر).
Throughout my literary journey, Tufail Parvez (طفیل پرویز) provided me with financial and moral support. He also helped establish the literary organization Ishq Lehr (عشق لہر), which later gained nationwide recognition. Many other kind-hearted individuals also guided and supported me.
My poetry book, “Sach Di Garhti” (سچ دی گڑھتی), was published through the dedicated efforts of young poet and journalist Aqeel Shafi (عقیل شافی). Others who contributed to its publication include Professor Dr. Ismatullah Zahid (پروفیسر ڈاکٹر عصمت اللہ زاہد), Professor Zaheer Ahmed Zaheer (پروفیسر ظہیر احمد ظہیر), Maqsood Ahmed Sharqpuri (مقصود احمد شرقپوری), Muhammad Asif (محمد آصف), and Muhammad Sudheer Sain (محمد سدھیر سائیں).
My family, especially my sons and daughters, preserved my poetry, enabling me to become a published author. With the grace of Allah Almighty (اللہ تعالیٰ) and the blessings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) (حضرت محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم), I have earned respect and recognition. In the end, I dedicate my poetry to my homeland, my faith, and my beliefs.
میرے دادا استاد الشعراء استاد چراغ دین المعروف “عشق لہر” میرے دادا جی تھے۔ 1948ء میں انتقال ان کے بعد، میں نے ان کا کلام مشاعروں میں پڑھنا شروع کیا، جس سے مجھے پہچان ملی۔ 1970ء میں، میرے دوستوں نے مجھے اپنی شاعری لکھنے کی حوصلہ افزائی دی، اور جلد ہی میں اپنی پہچان بنانے میں کامیاب ہو گیا۔ میری کامیابی زیادہ تر میرے دادا Ishq Lehr (عشق لہر) کی وجہ سے ہوئی۔
میرے ادبی سفر میں Tufail Parvez (طفیل پرویز) نے مجھے مالی اور اخلاقی طور پر سپورٹ کیا۔ انہوں نے ادبی انجمن Ishq Lehr (عشق لہر) کے قیام میں بھی مدد کی، جو بعد میں پورے ملک میں مشہور ہو گئی۔ کئی اور مہربان شخصیات نے بھی میری رہنمائی اور مدد کی۔میری شاعری کی کتاب Sach Di Garhti (سچ دی گڑھتی) نوجوان شاعر اور صحافی Aqeel Shafi (عقیل شافی) کی محنت سے شائع ہوئی۔ Professor Dr. Ismatullah Zahid (پروفیسر ڈاکٹر عصمت اللہ زاہد), Professor Zaheer Ahmed Zaheer (پروفیسر ظہیر احمد ظہیر), Maqsood Ahmed Sharqpuri (مقصود احمد شرقپوری), Muhammad Asif (محمد آصف), اور Muhammad Sudheer Sain (محمد سدھیر سائیں) نے بھی اس کتاب کی اشاعت میں مدد کی۔میرے اہل خانہ، خاص طور پر میرے بیٹوں اور بیٹیوں نے میرے کلام کو محفوظ رکھا، جس کی بدولت میں آج صاحبِ کتاب بن سکا۔ Allah Almighty (اللہ تعالیٰ) کے فضل اور Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) (حضرت محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) کی برکت سے مجھے عزت اور پہچان ملی۔ آخر میں، میں اپنی شاعری کو اپنے وطن، دین اور ایمان کے لیے وقف کرتا ہوں۔

Saryon Pai Tarail/سریوں پئی تریل
سبق بھل گئے پیار محباں نے، وچ دلاں نے نفرتاں پال رہنے آں
حرص و ہوس نے اپنی انا خاطر، اک دووئے ٹی پگڑی اچھال رہنے آں
عزت ادب وقار سب چھوڑ کے نے، دسو کہڑا کوئی ورثہ سنبھال رہئے آں
وکھو وکھ آج رستے سلیم ہو گئے، کل تک سنگتاں نبھانڑیں ہر حال رہنے آں
