Sher of Muztar Khairabadi
ai ḳhudā duniyā pe ab qabza butoñ kā chāhiye
ek ghar tere liye in sab ne ḳhālī kar diyā
ai KHuda duniya pe ab qabza buton ka chahiye
ek ghar tere liye in sab ne KHali kar diya
yahāñ se jab ga.ī thī tab asar par ḳhaar khaa.e thī
vahāñ se phuul barsātī huī palTī duā merī
yahan se jab gai thi tab asar par KHar khae thi
wahan se phul barsati hui palTi dua meri

parde vaale bhī kahīñ aate haiñ ghar se bāhar
ab jo aa baiThe ho tum dil meñ to baiThe rahnā
parde wale bhi kahin aate hain ghar se bahar
ab jo aa baiThe ho tum dil mein to baiThe rahna
ḳhāl-o-āriz kā tasavvur hai hamāre dil meñ
ek hindū bhī hai ka.abe meñ musalmān ke saath
KHal-o-ariz ka tasawwur hai hamare dil mein
ek hindu bhi hai kabe mein musalman ke sath
hāl-e-dil aġhyār se kahnā paḌā
gul kā qissa ḳhaar se kahnā paḌā
haal-e-dil aghyar se kahna paDa
gul ka qissa KHar se kahna paDa
maiñ masīhā use samajhtā huuñ
jo mire dard kī davā na kare
main masiha use samajhta hun
jo mere dard ki dawa na kare

ai buto rañj ke sāthī ho na ārām ke tum
kaam hī jab nahīñ aate ho to kis kaam ke tum
ai buto ranj ke sathi ho na aaram ke tum
kaam hi jab nahin aate ho to kis kaam ke tum
dil ko maiñ apne paas kyuuñ rakkhūñ
tū hī le jā agar ye terā hai
dil ko main apne pas kyun rakkhun
tu hi le ja agar ye tera hai
laḌā.ī hai to achchhā rāt-bhar yuuñ hī basar kar lo
ham apnā muñh idhar kar leñ tum apnā muñh udhar kar lo
laDai hai to achchha raat-bhar yun hi basar kar lo
hum apna munh idhar kar len tum apna munh udhar kar lo
saaqī mirā khiñchā thā to maiñ ne manā liyā
ye kis tarah mane jo dharī hai khiñchī huī
saqi mera khincha tha to main ne mana liya
ye kis tarah mane jo dhari hai khinchi hui
koī le le to dil dene ko maiñ tayyār baiThā huuñ
koī māñge to apnī jaan tak qurbān kartā huuñ
koi le le to dil dene ko main tayyar baiTha hun
koi mange to apni jaan tak qurban karta hun
na kisī kī aañkh kā nuur huuñ na kisī ke dil kā qarār huuñ
jo kisī ke kaam na aa sake maiñ vo ek musht-e-ġhubār huuñ
I'm not the light of any eye, for me none has a care
no use to anyone am I, dust merely scattered there
na kisi ki aankh ka nur hun na kisi ke dil ka qarar hun
jo kisi ke kaam na aa sake main wo ek musht-e-ghubar hun
I'm not the light of any eye, for me none has a care
no use to anyone am I, dust merely scattered there

jo pūchhā dil hamārā kyuuñ liyā to naaz se bole
ki thoḌī be-qarārī is dil-e-'muztar' se lenā hai
jo puchha dil hamara kyun liya to naz se bole
ki thoDi be-qarari is dil-e-'muztar' se lena hai
ka.abe meñ ham ne jā ke kuchh aur haal dekhā
jab but-kade meñ pahuñche sūrat hī dūsrī thī
kabe mein hum ne ja ke kuchh aur haal dekha
jab but-kade mein pahunche surat hi dusri thi
