Sher of Seemab Akbarabadi
umr-e-darāz maañg ke laa.ī thī chaar din
do aarzū meñ kaT ga.e do intizār meñ
a long life, four days in all, I did negotiate
two were spent in hope and two were spent in wait
umr-e-daraaz mang ke lai thi chaar din
do aarzu mein kaT gae do intizar mein
a long life, four days in all, I did negotiate
two were spent in hope and two were spent in wait
