Sher of Ahmad Salman

sab ne maanā marne vaalā dahshat-gard aur qātil thā

maañ ne phir bhī qabr pe us rāj-dulārā likkhā thā

sab ne mana marne wala dahshat-gard aur qatil tha

man ne phir bhi qabr pe us ki raj-dulara likkha tha

kuchal kuchal ke na fōt-pāth ko chalo itnā

yahāñ pe raat ko mazdūr ḳhvāb dekhte haiñ

kuchal kuchal ke na foot-path ko chalo itna

yahan pe raat ko mazdur KHwab dekhte hain

maiñ huuñ bhī to lagtā hai ki jaise maiñ nahīñ huuñ

tum ho bhī nahīñ aur ye lagtā hai ki tum ho

main hun bhi to lagta hai ki jaise main nahin hun

tum ho bhi nahin aur ye lagta hai ki tum ho

jo dikh rahā usī ke andar jo an-dikhā hai vo shā.erī hai

jo kah sakā thā vo kah chukā huuñ jo rah gayā hai vo shā.erī hai

jo dikh raha usi ke andar jo an-dikha hai wo shaeri hai

jo kah saka tha wo kah chuka hun jo rah gaya hai wo shaeri hai

vo jin daraḳhtoñ chhāñv meñ se musāfiroñ ko uThā diyā thā

unhīñ daraḳhtoñ pe agle mausam jo phal na utre to log samjhe

wo jin daraKHton ki chhanw mein se musafiron ko uTha diya tha

unhin daraKHton pe agle mausam jo phal na utre to log samjhe
