Sher on Besabati

If all manifestations

are transitory, all that is physical must also be the same. The philosophy of transience has caught the attention of philosophers and poets in all generations, and in all languages. As it reflects upon human life also, we have made a selection for you to show how the Urdu poets have reflected upon the philosophy of permanence and transience.

le saañs bhī āhista ki nāzuk hai bahut kaam

āfāq is kārgah-e-shīshagarī

breathe here softly as with fragility here all is fraught

in this workshop of the world where wares of glass are wrought

le sans bhi aahista ki nazuk hai bahut kaam

aafaq ki is kargah-e-shishagari ka

breathe here softly as with fragility here all is fraught

in this workshop of the world where wares of glass are wrought

be-sabātī chaman-e-dahr hai jin pe khulī

havas-e-rañg na vo ḳhvāhish-e-bū karte haiñ

hawas-e-rang na wo KHwahish-e-bu karte hain
