Sher of Ehsan Danish
aaj us ne hañs ke yuuñ pūchhā mizāj
umr bhar ke ranj-o-ġham yaad aa ga.e
aaj us ne hans ke yun puchha mizaj
umr bhar ke ranj-o-gham yaad aa gae
ye uḌī uḌī sī rañgat ye khule khule se gesū
tirī sub.h kah rahī hai tirī raat kā fasāna
ye uDi uDi si rangat ye khule khule se gesu
teri subh kah rahi hai teri raat ka fasana
rahtā nahīñ insān to miT jaatā hai ġham bhī
so jā.eñge ik roz zamīñ oḌh ke ham bhī
rahta nahin insan to miT jata hai gham bhi
so jaenge ek roz zamin oDh ke hum bhi
kis kis kī zabāñ rokne jā.ūñ tirī ḳhātir
kis kis kī tabāhī meñ tirā haath nahīñ hai
kis kis ki zaban rokne jaun teri KHatir
kis kis ki tabahi mein tera hath nahin hai
kuchh log jo savār haiñ kāġhaz kī naav par
tohmat tarāshte haiñ havā ke dabāv par
kuchh log jo sawar hain kaghaz ki naw par
tohmat tarashte hain hawa ke dabaw par

tum sāda-mizājī se miTe phirte ho jis par
vo shaḳhs to duniyā meñ kisī kā bhī nahīñ hai
tum sada-mizaji se miTe phirte ho jis par
wo shaKHs to duniya mein kisi ka bhi nahin hai
maiñ hairāñ huuñ ki kyuuñ us se huī thī dostī apnī
mujhe kaise gavāra ho ga.ī thī dushmanī apnī
main hairan hun ki kyun us se hui thi dosti apni
mujhe kaise gawara ho gai thi dushmani apni
jo de rahe ho zamīñ ko vahī zamīñ degī
babūl bo.e to kaise gulāb niklegā
jo de rahe ho zamin ko wahi zamin degi
babul boe to kaise gulab niklega

na jaane mohabbat kā anjām kyā hai
maiñ ab har tasallī se ghabrā rahā huuñ
na jaane mohabbat ka anjam kya hai
main ab har tasalli se ghabra raha hun
shorish-e-ishq meñ hai husn barābar kā sharīk

shorish-e-ishq mein hai husn barabar ka sharik
soch kar jurm-e-tamanna ki saza do hum ko

tū mujhe bhuul gayā ho jaise

tu mujhe bhul gaya ho jaise
zabt bhī sabr bhī imkān meñ sab kuchh hai magar
pahle kam-baḳht mirā dil to mirā dil ho jaa.e
zabt bhi sabr bhi imkan mein sab kuchh hai magar
pahle kam-baKHt mera dil to mera dil ho jae
kaun detā hai mohabbat ko parastish kā maqām
tum ye insāf se socho to duā do ham ko
kaun deta hai mohabbat ko parastish ka maqam
tum ye insaf se socho to dua do hum ko
'ehsān' aisā talḳh javāb-e-vafā milā
ham is ke ba.ad phir koī armāñ na kar sake
I, to my troth, such a bitter response did obtain
after that I could never hope to hope again
'ehsan' aisa talKH jawab-e-wafa mila
hum is ke baad phir koi arman na kar sake
I, to my troth, such a bitter response did obtain
after that I could never hope to hope again
