Sher on Rifaqat

mujhe to terī barbādī bhī barbādī nahīñ lagtī

ki maiñ ne vo bhī dekhā hai jo hai barbād se aage

mujhe to teri barbaadi bhi barbaadi nahin lagti

ki main ne wo bhi dekha hai jo hai barbaad se aage

dekho hamāre dil meñ ujāle haiñ har taraf

ham is ke bāvajūd ujāloñ se duur haiñ

dekho hamare dil mein ujale hain har taraf

hum is ke bawajud ujalon se dur hain

yārān-e-safar haiñ tez-qadam ai kashmakash-e-dil kyā hogā

ruktā huuñ to bichhḌā jaatā huuñ chaltā huuñ to chalnā mushkil hai

yaran-e-safar hain tez-qadam ai kashmakash-e-dil kya hoga

rukta hun to bichhDa jata hun chalta hun to chalna mushkil hai

taqdīr merī ho ga.ī us phuul kī tarah

murjhā gayā to phir kabhī phūlā phulā nahīñ

taqdir meri ho gai us phul ki tarah

murjha gaya to phir kabhi phula phula nahin

vo kisī aur se mansūb huī hai aise

jaise beva kisī Dolī meñ biThā dī ga.ī hai

wo kisi aur se mansub hui hai aise

jaise bewa kisi Doli mein biTha di gai hai
