Sher of Qayem Chaandpuri
qismat to dekh TuuTī hai jā kar kahāñ kamand
kuchh duur apne haath se jab baam rah gayā
qismat to dekh TuTi hai ja kar kahan kamand
kuchh dur apne hath se jab baam rah gaya

duniyā meñ ham rahe to ka.ī din pa is tarah
dushman ke ghar meñ jaise koī mehmāñ rahe
I did stay in this world but twas in such a way
a guest who in the house of his enemy does stay
duniya mein hum rahe to kai din pa is tarah
dushman ke ghar mein jaise koi mehman rahe
I did stay in this world but twas in such a way
a guest who in the house of his enemy does stay

koī din aage bhī zāhid ajab zamāna thā
har ik mohalle kī masjid sharāb-ḳhāna thā
koi din aage bhi zahid ajab zamana tha
har ek mohalle ki masjid sharab-KHana tha
dil pā ke us kī zulf meñ ārām rah gayā
darvesh jis jagah ki huī shaam rah gayā
TRANSLATION
Heart found comfort and stayed on in her tresses,
As an ascetic stays wherever on the nightfall he is.
Sagar Akbarabadi
dil pa ke us ki zulf mein aaram rah gaya
