Sher of Iqbal Azeem
jhuk kar salām karne meñ kyā harj hai magar
sar itnā mat jhukāo ki dastār gir paḌe
jhuk kar salam karne mein kya harj hai magar
sar itna mat jhukao ki dastar gir paDe

aadmī jaan ke khātā hai mohabbat meñ fareb
ḳhud-farebī hī mohabbat kā sila ho jaise
aadmi jaan ke khata hai mohabbat mein fareb
KHud-farebi hi mohabbat ka sila ho jaise
yuuñ sar-e-rāh mulāqāt huī hai aksar
us ne dekhā bhī nahīñ ham ne pukārā bhī nahīñ
yun sar-e-rah mulaqat hui hai aksar
us ne dekha bhi nahin hum ne pukara bhi nahin
ham bahut duur nikal aa.e haiñ chalte chalte
ab Thahar jaa.eñ kahīñ shaam ke Dhalte Dhalte
hum bahut dur nikal aae hain chalte chalte
ab Thahar jaen kahin sham ke Dhalte Dhalte
qātil ne kis safā.ī se dhoī hai āstīñ
us ko ḳhabar nahīñ ki lahū boltā bhī hai
qatil ne kis safai se dhoi hai aastin
us ko KHabar nahin ki lahu bolta bhi hai

bārhā un se na milne kī qasam khātā huuñ maiñ

so vo bhī un ke haath lagā jo aag bujhāne aa.e the
jab ghar ki aag bujhi to kuchh saman bacha tha jalne se
so wo bhi un ke hath laga jo aag bujhane aae the
zamāna dekhā hai ham ne hamārī qadr karo
ham apnī āñkhoñ meñ duniyā basā.e baiThe haiñ
zamana dekha hai hum ne hamari qadr karo
hum apni aankhon mein duniya basae baiThe hain

ham apne ghar se kafan saath le ke aa.e haiñ
safar pe nikle hain hum pure ehtimam ke sath
hum apne ghar se kafan sath le ke aae hain

raushnī mujh se gurezāñ hai to shikva bhī nahīñ
mere ġham-ḳhāne meñ kuchh aisā añdherā bhī nahīñ
raushni mujh se gurezan hai to shikwa bhi nahin
mere gham-KHane mein kuchh aisa andhera bhi nahin
jis meñ na koī rañg na āhañg na ḳhushbū
tum aise gulistāñ ko jalā kyuuñ nahīñ dete
jis mein na koi rang na aahang na KHushbu
tum aise gulistan ko jala kyun nahin dete
