Misl-E-Sarmad Talib-E-Haq-Bin Agar Sar-Dad Dad

Poet

misl-e-sarmad talib-e-haq-bin agar sar-dad daad

dekh le mansur ne ji daar par ustad daad

ishq hai ai dil kaThin kuchh ḳhana-e-ḳhala nahin

rakh dilerana qadam ta tujh ko ho imdad daad

ho nahin sakti hai jis ki gosh-zad fariyad daad

jis ne abadan mere dil ka nagar barbad daad

rashk-e-duniya hai kisi ne kyuun bara.e chand roz

zindagi apne ta.iin afsos ya mi.ad daad

kis se ho sakta hai jo is ne kiya aalam ke saath

surat-e-ḳhaki men kaisa kuchh dam-e-ijad daad

ḳhurram-o-ḳhursand ik aalam hai par hairan huun main

kyuun mujhe ḳhatir hazin ho.e dil-e-nashad daad

‘afridi’ us shikar-andaz se kyunkar baje

daam men jis ke hai sab ḳhilqat azaan sayyad daad
