Sher of Syed Gulam Mohammad Mast Kalkattvi
surḳh-rū hotā hai insāñ Thokareñ khāne ke ba.ad
rañg laatī hai hinā patthar pe pis jaane ke ba.ad
surKH-ru hota hai insan Thokaren khane ke baad
rang lati hai hina patthar pe pis jaane ke baad
kuchh dost se ummīd na andesha-e-dushman
hogā vahī jo kuchh mirī qismat meñ likhā hai
kuchh dost se ummid na andesha-e-dushman
hoga wahi jo kuchh meri qismat mein likha hai
