Interesting Fact
dedicated to children (extracted from William Cooper's book)
Tahnī pe kisī shajar kī tanhā
bulbul thā koī udaas baiThā
kahtā thā ki raat sar pe aa.ī
uḌne chugne meñ din guzārā
pahuñchūñ kis tarah āshiyāñ tak
har chiiz pe chhā gayā añdherā
sun kar bulbul kī āh-o-zārī
jugnū koī paas hī se bolā
hāzir huuñ madad ko jān-o-dil se
kiiḌā huuñ agarche maiñ zarā sā
kyā ġham hai jo raat hai añdherī
maiñ raah meñ raushnī karūñgā
allāh ne dī hai mujh ko mash.al
chamkā ke mujhe diyā banāyā
haiñ log vahī jahāñ meñ achchhe
aate haiñ jo kaam dūsroñ ke
Tahni pe kisi shajar ki tanha
bulbul tha koi udas baiTha
kahta tha ki raat sar pe aai
uDne chugne mein din guzara
pahunchun kis tarah aashiyan tak
har chiz pe chha gaya andhera
sun kar bulbul ki aah-o-zari
jugnu koi pas hi se bola
hazir hun madad ko jaan-o-dil se
kiDa hun agarche main zara sa
kya gham hai jo raat hai andheri
main rah mein raushni karunga
allah ne di hai mujh ko mashal
chamka ke mujhe diya banaya
hain log wahi jahan mein achchhe
aate hain jo kaam dusron ke
