Sher-o-Shayari 10
agar phūloñ kī ḳhvāhish hai to sun lo
kisī kī raah meñ kāñTe na rakhnā
agar phulon ki KHwahish hai to sun lo
kisi ki rah mein kanTe na rakhna
farishtoñ meñ bhī jis ke tazkire haiñ
vo tere shahr meñ rusvā bahut hai
farishton mein bhi jis ke tazkire hain
wo tere shahr mein ruswa bahut hai
ḳhatā maiñ ne koī bhārī nahīñ kī
amīr-e-shahr se yaarī nahīñ kī
TRANSLATION
A grave mistake I did not commit,
Friendship with the ruler I never did.

KHata main ne koi bhaari nahin ki
amir-e-shahr se yari nahin ki
TRANSLATION
A grave mistake I did not commit,
Friendship with the ruler I never did.

mire aiboñ ko ginvāyā to sab ne
kisī ne merī ġham-ḳhvārī nahīñ kī
mere aibon ko ginwaya to sab ne
kisi ne meri gham-KHwari nahin ki
ye maanā vo shajar sūkhā bahut hai
magar us meñ abhī saayā bahut hai
ye mana wo shajar sukha bahut hai
magar us mein abhi saya bahut hai
