Sher of Akbar Allahabadi
ham aah bhī karte haiñ to ho jaate haiñ badnām
vo qatl bhī karte haiñ to charchā nahīñ hotā
I do suffer slander, when I merely sigh
she gets away with murder, no mention of it nigh
hum aah bhi karte hain to ho jate hain badnam
wo qatl bhi karte hain to charcha nahin hota
I do suffer slander, when I merely sigh
she gets away with murder, no mention of it nigh

jo kahā maiñ ne ki pyaar aatā hai mujh ko tum par
hañs ke kahne lagā aur aap ko aatā kyā hai
laughing, she inquired when, I said I love you
is there anything else at all that you know to do
jo kaha main ne ki pyar aata hai mujh ko tum par
hans ke kahne laga aur aap ko aata kya hai
laughing, she inquired when, I said I love you
is there anything else at all that you know to do

faltu aql mujh mein thi hi nahin
from sectarian debate refrained
for I was not so scatter-brained

aa.ī hogī kisī ko hijr meñ maut
mujh ko to niiñd bhī nahīñ aatī
aai hogi kisi ko hijr mein maut
mujh ko to nind bhi nahin aati
rahtā hai ibādat meñ hameñ maut kā khaTkā
ham yād-e-ḳhudā karte haiñ, kar le na ḳhudā yaad
As I pray I am afraid that death should not befall
While I do remember God, he should not recall
rahta hai ibaadat mein hamein maut ka khaTka
hum yaad-e-KHuda karte hain, kar le na KHuda yaad
As I pray I am afraid that death should not befall
While I do remember God, he should not recall

Daka to nahin mara chori to nahin ki hai
barely have I sipped a bit, why should this uproar be
It's not that I've commited theft or daylight robbery

kya samajhte ho ki KHali jaegi
those sighs that emerge from this heart so fiiled with pain
