Sher of Riyaz Khairabadi
bach jaa.e javānī meñ jo duniyā kī havā se
hotā hai farishta koī insāñ nahīñ hotā
bach jae jawani mein jo duniya ki hawa se
hota hai farishta koi insan nahin hota
mehñdī lagā.e baiThe haiñ kuchh is adā se vo
muTThī meñ un kī de de koī dil nikāl ke
mehndi lagae baiThe hain kuchh is ada se wo
muTThi mein un ki de de koi dil nikal ke
ġham mujhe dete ho auroñ kī ḳhushī ke vāste
kyuuñ bure bante ho tum nāhaq kisī ke vāste
you heap these sorrows onto me, why for other's sake?
For someone else, needlessly this blame why do you take?
gham mujhe dete ho auron ki KHushi ke waste
kyun bure bante ho tum nahaq kisi ke waste
you heap these sorrows onto me, why for other's sake?
For someone else, needlessly this blame why do you take?
dekhiyegā sambhal kar ā.īna
sāmnā aaj hai muqābil kā
dekhiyega sambhal kar aaina
samna aaj hai muqabil ka
dil-jaloñ se dil-lagī achchhī nahīñ
rone vāloñ se hañsī achchhī nahīñ
dil-jalon se dil-lagi achchhi nahin
rone walon se hansi achchhi nahin

ghar meñ das hoñ to ye raunaq nahīñ hogī ghar meñ
ek dīvāne se ābād hai sahrā kaisā
ghar mein das hon to ye raunaq nahin hogi ghar mein
ek diwane se aabaad hai sahra kaisa
allāh-re nāzukī ki javāb-e-salām meñ
haath us kā uTh ke rah gayā mehñdī ke bojh se

duniyā yahī kahegī ki jannat meñ ghar banā
mai-KHane mein mazar hamara agar bana
duniya yahi kahegi ki jannat mein ghar bana
itnī pī hai ki ba.ad-e-tauba bhī
be-piye be-ḳhudī sī rahtī hai
itni pi hai ki baad-e-tauba bhi
be-piye be-KHudi si rahti hai
muflisoñ kī zindagī kā zikr kyā
muflisī kī maut bhī achchhī nahīñ
muflison ki zindagi ka zikr kya
muflisi ki maut bhi achchhi nahin

dard ho to davā kare koī
