Aah Sharminda-E-Asar Na Hui

Poet

aah sharminda-e-asar na hui

koi tadbir kargar na hui

multafit aap ki nazar na hui

shaḳh-e-ummid barvar na hui

ham ne din jis jagah guzar diya

raat apni vahan basar na hui

aib auron ke DhunDte hain ham

apne afa.al par nazar na hui

qissa-e-gham agar na tha kotah

zindagani bhi muḳhtasar na hui

rah ga.i dil men dagh-e-dil ban kar

vo tamanna jo barvar na hui

daad do mere zabt-e-gham ki mujhe

dil bhi roya to chashm tar na hui

mere taḳh.il ki bulandi bhi

kabhi mohtaj-e-bal-o-par na hui

ḳhubiyan dekhiye muqaddar ki

ho ga.i shaam to sahar na hui

un se milne ki aarzu puuri

baat mumkin sahi magar na hui

dil pe guzre vo hadse ‘shankar’

ik ghaḌi chain se basar na hui
