Sher of Shahzad Ahmad
chhoḌne maiñ nahīñ jaatā use darvāze tak
lauT aatā huuñ ki ab kaun use jaatā dekhe
chhoDne main nahin jata use darwaze tak
lauT aata hun ki ab kaun use jata dekhe
guzarne hī na dī vo raat maiñ ne
ghaḌī par rakh diyā thā haath maiñ ne
guzarne hi na di wo raat main ne
ghaDi par rakh diya tha hath main ne
ye samajh ke maanā hai sach tumhārī bātoñ ko
itne ḳhūb-sūrat lab jhuuT kaise boleñge
ye samajh ke mana hai sach tumhaari baaton ko
itne KHub-surat lab jhuT kaise bolenge
sab kī tarah tū ne bhī mire aib nikāle
tū ne bhī ḳhudāyā mirī niyyat nahīñ dekhī
sab ki tarah tu ne bhi mere aib nikale
tu ne bhi KHudaya meri niyyat nahin dekhi

hamāre pesh-e-nazar manzileñ kuchh aur bhī thiiñ
ye hādsa hai ki ham tere paas aa pahuñche
hamare pesh-e-nazar manzilen kuchh aur bhi thin
ye hadsa hai ki hum tere pas aa pahunche
hausla hai to safīnoñ ke alam lahrāo
bahte dariyā to chaleñge isī raftār ke saath
hausla hai to safinon ke alam lahrao
bahte dariya to chalenge isi raftar ke sath
hazār chehre haiñ maujūd aadmī ġhā.eb
ye kis ḳharābe meñ duniyā ne lā ke chhoḌ diyā
hazar chehre hain maujud aadmi ghaeb
ye kis KHarabe mein duniya ne la ke chhoD diya
aañkh rakhte ho to us aañkh kī tahrīr paḌho
muñh se iqrār na karnā to hai aadat us kī
aankh rakhte ho to us aankh ki tahrir paDho
munh se iqrar na karna to hai aadat us ki
