Sher of Arifa Shahzad

tujhe āġhāz se paḌh liyā thā

tire chehre pe sab likhā huā thā

tujhe aaghaz hi se paDh liya tha

tere chehre pe sab likha hua tha

nashtar jaisā andar ik chubhtā kāñTā hai

jaane us ne dukh bāñTā dil bāñTā hai

nashtar jaisa andar ek chubhta kanTa hai

jaane us ne dukh banTa ya dil banTa hai

ḳhvāb meñ jāgtī be-ḳhvābī patā pūchhtī hai

kyā kaheñ niiñd bhī hotī hai sulāne vaalī

KHwab mein jagti be-KHwabi pata puchhti hai

kya kahen nind bhi hoti hai sulane wali

ab bhī mat pūchh mire dil meñ hai kyā rahne de

baat vaise bhī nahīñ tujh ko batāne vaalī

ab bhi mat puchh mere dil mein hai kya rahne de

baat waise bhi nahin tujh ko batane wali

din āñkheñ band huī haiñ

āñkhoñ meñ hai raat ḳhabar lo

din ki aankhen band hui hain

aankhon mein hai raat KHabar lo

sab mumkin hai farz kar lo

ḳhushbū apnī ok meñ bhar lo

sab mumkin hai farz hi kar lo

KHushbu apni ok mein bhar lo
