Sher of Akhtar Shirani
kāñToñ se dil lagāo jo tā-umr saath deñ
phūloñ kā kyā jo saañs kī garmī na sah sakeñ
befriend the thorns for they will be loyal until death
what of these flowers that will wilt with just a burning breath
kanTon se dil lagao jo ta-umr sath den
phulon ka kya jo sans ki garmi na sah saken
befriend the thorns for they will be loyal until death
what of these flowers that will wilt with just a burning breath
ġham-e-zamāna ne majbūr kar diyā varna
ye aarzū thī ki bas terī aarzū karte
gham-e-zamana ne majbur kar diya warna
ye aarzu thi ki bas teri aarzu karte
un ras bharī āñkhoñ meñ hayā khel rahī hai
do zahr ke pyāloñ meñ qazā khel rahī hai
un ras bhari aankhon mein haya khel rahi hai
do zahr ke pyalon mein qaza khel rahi hai
inhī ġham kī ghaTāoñ se ḳhushī kā chāñd niklegā
añdherī raat ke parde meñ din kī raushnī bhī hai
inhi gham ki ghaTaon se KHushi ka chand niklega
andheri raat ke parde mein din ki raushni bhi hai

aarzū vasl kī rakhtī hai pareshāñ kyā kyā
kyā batā.ūñ ki mere dil meñ hai armāñ kyā kyā
aarzu wasl ki rakhti hai pareshan kya kya
kya bataun ki mere dil mein hai arman kya kya
chaman meñ rahne vāloñ se to ham sahrā-nashīñ achchhe
bahār aa ke chalī jaatī hai vīrānī nahīñ jaatī
we desert dwellers have a stable state
compared to those that in gardens stay
chaman mein rahne walon se to hum sahra-nashin achchhe
bahaar aa ke chali jati hai virani nahin jati
we desert dwellers have a stable state
compared to those that in gardens stay

kaam aa sakīñ na apnī vafā.eñ to kyā kareñ
us bevafā ko bhuul na jaa.eñ to kyā kareñ
kaam aa sakin na apni wafaen to kya karen

ik qayāmat un kā aanā ho gayā
thak gae hum karte karte intizar
ek qayamat un ka aana ho gaya
kuchh is tarah se yaad aate rahe ho
ki ab bhuul jaane ko jī chāhtā hai
kuchh is tarah se yaad aate rahe ho
ki ab bhul jaane ko ji chahta hai
ḳhafā haiñ phir bhī aa kar chheḌ jaate haiñ tasavvur meñ
hamāre haal par kuchh mehrbānī ab bhī hotī hai
KHafa hain phir bhi aa kar chheD jate hain tasawwur mein

zindagī kitnī masarrat se guzartī yā rab
aish kī tarah agar ġham bhī gavārā hotā
zindagi kitni masarrat se guzarti ya rab
aish ki tarah agar gham bhi gawara hota
bhulā baiThe ho ham ko aaj lekin ye samajh lenā
bahut pachhtāoge jis vaqt ham kal yaad ā.eñge
bhula baiThe ho hum ko aaj lekin ye samajh lena
bahut pachhtaoge jis waqt hum kal yaad aaenge
maanā ki sab ke sāmne milne se hai hijāb
lekin vo ḳhvāb meñ bhī na aa.eñ to kyā kareñ
mana ki sab ke samne milne se hai hijab
lekin wo KHwab mein bhi na aaen to kya karen

palaT sī ga.ī hai zamāne kī kaayā
nayā saal aayā nayā saal aayā
palaT si gai hai zamane ki kaya
naya sal aaya naya sal aaya
ishq ko naġhma-e-ummīd sunā de aa kar
dil kī soī huī qismat ko jagā de aa kar
ishq ko naghma-e-ummid suna de aa kar
dil ki soi hui qismat ko jaga de aa kar
kisī maġhrūr ke aage hamārā sar nahīñ jhuktā
faqīrī meñ bhī 'aḳhtar' ġhairat-e-shāhāna rakhte haiñ
kisi maghrur ke aage hamara sar nahin jhukta
faqiri mein bhi 'aKHtar' ghairat-e-shahana rakhte hain
vo agar aa na sake maut hī aa.ī hotī
hijr meñ koī to ġham-ḳhvār hamārā hotā
wo agar aa na sake maut hi aai hoti
hijr mein koi to gham-KHwar hamara hota
ai dil vo āshiqī ke fasāne kidhar ga.e
vo umr kyā huī vo zamāne kidhar ga.e
ai dil wo aashiqi ke fasane kidhar gae
wo umr kya hui wo zamane kidhar gae
