Sher of Imdad Ali Bahr
āñkheñ na jiine deñgī tirī be-vafā mujhe
kyuuñ khiḌkiyoñ se jhāñk rahī hai qazā mujhe
aankhen na jine dengi teri be-wafa mujhe
kyun khiDkiyon se jhank rahi hai qaza mujhe
ham na kahte the hañsī achchhī nahīñ
aa ga.ī āḳhir rukāvaT dekhiye
hum na kahte the hansi achchhi nahin
aa gai aaKHir rukawaT dekhiye
ḳhudā aliim hai har shaḳhs kī banāvaT kā
kaho namāziyo sajde kiye ki sar paTkā
KHuda alim hai har shaKHs ki banawaT ka
kaho namaziyo sajde kiye ki sar paTka
banāvaT vaz.a-dārī meñ ho yā be-sāḳhta-pan meñ
hameñ andāz vo bhātā hai jis meñ kuchh adā nikle
banawaT waza-dari mein ho ya be-saKHta-pan mein
hamein andaz wo bhata hai jis mein kuchh ada nikle
mujh ko rone to do dikhā dūñgā
bulbulā hai ye āsmān nahīñ
mujh ko rone to do dikha dunga
bulbula hai ye aasman nahin
ḳhvāhish-e-dīdār meñ āñkheñ bhī haiñ merī raqīb
saat pardoñ meñ chhupā rakkhā hai us ke nuur ko
KHwahish-e-didar mein aankhen bhi hain meri raqib
sat pardon mein chhupa rakkha hai us ke nur ko
kausar kā jaam us ko ilāhī nasīb ho
koī sharāb merī lahad par chhiḌak gayā
kausar ka jam us ko ilahi nasib ho
koi sharab meri lahad par chhiDak gaya
tū ḳhizāñ meñ jo sair ko nikle
hare ho jaa.eñ be-bahār daraḳht
tu KHizan mein jo sair ko nikle
hare ho jaen be-bahaar daraKHt
maiñ haath joḌtā huuñ baḌī der se huzūr
lag jā.iye gale se ab inkār ho chukā
main hath joDta hun baDi der se huzur
lag jaiye gale se ab inkar ho chuka

zālim hamārī aaj kī ye baat yaad rakh
itnā bhī dil-jaloñ kā satānā bhalā nahīñ
zalim hamari aaj ki ye baat yaad rakh
itna bhi dil-jalon ka satana bhala nahin
juutā nayā pahan ke vo panjoñ ke bal chale
kapḌe badal ke jaame se bāhar nikal chale
juta naya pahan ke wo panjon ke bal chale
kapDe badal ke jame se bahar nikal chale
zāhid sunā.ūñ vasf jo apnī sharāb ke
paḌhne lageñ darūd farishte savāb ke
zahid sunaun wasf jo apni sharab ke
paDhne lagen darud farishte sawab ke
kāfir-e-ishq huuñ maiñ sab se mohabbat hai mujhe
ek but kyā ki samāyā hai kalīsā dil meñ
kafir-e-ishq hun main sab se mohabbat hai mujhe
ek but kya ki samaya hai kalisa dil mein
kisī ne ka.aba banāyā kisī ne but-ḳhāna
banā na ek gharauñdā tumhāre ghar kī tarah
kisi ne kaba banaya kisi ne but-KHana
bana na ek gharaunda tumhaare ghar ki tarah
pyaar kī aañkh se dushman ko bhī jo dekhte haiñ
ham ne aise bhī haiñ allāh ke pyāre dekhe
pyar ki aankh se dushman ko bhi jo dekhte hain
hum ne aise bhi hain allah ke pyare dekhe
na mohabbat hai diloñ meñ na hayā āñkhoñ meñ
ye sanam tū ne banā.e haiñ ḳhudāyā kaise
na mohabbat hai dilon mein na haya aankhon mein
ye sanam tu ne banae hain KHudaya kaise
ġhair par kyuuñ nigāh karte ho
mujh ko is tiir kā nishāna karo
ghair par kyun nigah karte ho
mujh ko is tir ka nishana karo

dīvāngī meñ pheñk rahe the jo ham libās

amiir shaal do-shāloñ meñ garm-e-rāhat-o-aish
ġharīb ke liye jāḌoñ meñ zindagānī dhuup
amir shaal do-shaalon mein garm-e-rahat-o-aish

yar tak le na gae ashk baha kar hum ko
is ko bhi dekh liya dida-e-tar kuchh bhi nahin
pūchhe rindoñ se koī in muftiyoñ kā jhuuT sach

koī haram ko gayā koī dair ko ai 'bahr'
hazār shukr na maiñ is dorāhe meñ bhaTkā
koi haram ko gaya koi dair ko ai 'bahr'
hazar shukr na main is dorahe mein bhaTka
