Sher on Insaan
Human beings belong
to the category of God’s supreme creation. Man has to deserve to be a human being as it calls for great perseverance to achieve that status. Poetic discourses on men and human beings are spread in poetry in all languages. Here are a few samples from Urdu poets that you may like to read and enjoy.
bastī meñ apnī hindū musalmāñ jo bas ga.e
insāñ kī shakl dekhne ko ham taras ga.e
basti mein apni hindu musalman jo bas gae
insan ki shakl dekhne ko hum taras gae
kyā tire shahr ke insān haiñ patthar kī tarah
koī naġhma koī pāyal koī jhankār nahīñ
kya tere shahr ke insan hain patthar ki tarah
koi naghma koi payal koi jhankar nahin
'zafar' aadmī us ko na jāniyegā vo ho kaisā hī sāhab-e-fahm-o-zakā
jise aish meñ yād-e-ḳhudā na rahī jise taish meñ ḳhauf-e-ḳhudā na rahā
'zafar' aadmi us ko na jaaniyega wo ho kaisa hi sahab-e-fahm-o-zaka
jise aish mein yaad-e-KHuda na rahi jise taish mein KHauf-e-KHuda na raha
