Sher of Umar Farooq
uTThe jo tere dar se to duniyā simaT ga.ī
baiThe the tere dar pe zamāna liye hue
uTThe jo tere dar se to duniya simaT gai
baiThe the tere dar pe zamana liye hue
badan kā bojh uThānā bhī ab muhāl huā
jo ḳhud se haar ke baiThe to phir ye haal huā
badan ka bojh uThana bhi ab muhaal hua
jo KHud se haar ke baiThe to phir ye haal hua
mujhe ḳharīd rahe haiñ mire sabhī apne
maiñ bik to jā.ūñ magar sāmne to aa.e koī
mujhe KHarid rahe hain mere sabhi apne
main bik to jaun magar samne to aae koi
mire mālik mujhe is ḳhaak se be-ghar na karnā
mohabbat ke safar meñ chalte chalte thak gayā huuñ maiñ
mere malik mujhe is KHak se be-ghar na karna
mohabbat ke safar mein chalte chalte thak gaya hun main
hameñ to TuuTī huī kashtiyāñ nahīñ dikhtīñ
hamāre ghar se hī dariyā dikhā.ī detā hai
hamein to TuTi hui kashtiyan nahin dikhtin
hamare ghar se hi dariya dikhai deta hai
ab kū-e-sanam chaar qadam hī kā safar hai
kuchh aur masāfat ko Thahar kyuuñ nahīñ jaate
ab ku-e-sanam chaar qadam hi ka safar hai
kuchh aur masafat ko Thahar kyun nahin jate
