Sher of Ameer Minai
tum ko aatā hai pyaar par ġhussa
mujh ko ġhusse pe pyaar aatā hai
tum ko aata hai pyar par ghussa
mujh ko ghusse pe pyar aata hai
kashtiyāñ sab kī kināre pe pahuñch jaatī haiñ
nāḳhudā jin kā nahīñ un kā ḳhudā hotā hai
kashtiyan sab ki kinare pe pahunch jati hain
naKHuda jin ka nahin un ka KHuda hota hai
gaahe gaahe kī mulāqāt hī achchhī hai 'amīr'
qadr kho detā hai har roz kā aanā jaanā
gahe gahe ki mulaqat hi achchhi hai 'amir'
qadr kho deta hai har roz ka aana jaana
vasl kā din aur itnā muḳhtasar
din gine jaate the is din ke liye
wasl ka din aur itna muKHtasar
din gine jate the is din ke liye

ḳhanjar chale kisī pe taḌapte haiñ ham 'amīr'
saare jahāñ kā dard hamāre jigar meñ hai
KHanjar chale kisi pe taDapte hain hum 'amir'
sare jahan ka dard hamare jigar mein hai
ulfat meñ barābar hai vafā ho ki jafā ho
har baat meñ lazzat hai agar dil meñ mazā ho
ulfat mein barabar hai wafa ho ki jafa ho
har baat mein lazzat hai agar dil mein maza ho
aafat to hai vo naaz bhī andāz bhī lekin
martā huuñ maiñ jis par vo adā aur hī kuchh hai
aafat to hai wo naz bhi andaz bhi lekin
marta hun main jis par wo ada aur hi kuchh hai
tiir khāne kī havas hai to jigar paidā kar
sarfaroshī kī tamannā hai to sar paidā kar
tir khane ki hawas hai to jigar paida kar
sarfaroshi ki tamanna hai to sar paida kar
kaun sī jā hai jahāñ jalva-e-māshūq nahīñ
shauq-e-dīdār agar hai to nazar paidā kar
where in this world does ones beloved's beauty not reside
if the zeal for sight you have, the vision too provide
kaun si ja hai jahan jalwa-e-mashuq nahin
shauq-e-didar agar hai to nazar paida kar
where in this world does ones beloved's beauty not reside
if the zeal for sight you have, the vision too provide

hañs ke farmāte haiñ vo dekh ke hālat merī
kyuuñ tum āsān samajhte the mohabbat merī
seeing my condition, she laughs and asks of me
Easy did you then imagine, loving me would be?
hans ke farmate hain wo dekh ke haalat meri
kyun tum aasan samajhte the mohabbat meri
seeing my condition, she laughs and asks of me
Easy did you then imagine, loving me would be?

hue nāmvar be-nishāñ kaise kaise

mang lun tujh se tujhi ko ki sabhi kuchh mil jae
sau sawalon se yahi ek sawal achchha hai
āñkheñ dikhlāte ho joban to dikhāo sāhab
vo alag bāñdh ke rakkhā hai jo maal achchhā hai
show me not your anger dear show me your youthful prime
the wealth that you have covered up is truly sublime
aankhen dikhlate ho joban to dikhao sahab
wo alag bandh ke rakkha hai jo mal achchha hai
show me not your anger dear show me your youthful prime
the wealth that you have covered up is truly sublime

as she came of age she started to be veiled from me
shyness came to her at once, beauty then slowly

pahlū meñ mere dil ko na ai dard kar talāsh
muddat huī ġharīb vatan se nikal gayā
pahlu mein mere dil ko na ai dard kar talash
muddat hui gharib watan se nikal gaya

DhūñDne us ko chalā huuñ jise pā bhī na sakūñ
The one that I desire, this heart cannot displace
The one who is unattainable I seek to embrace
us ki hasrat hai jise dil se miTa bhi na sakun
DhunDne us ko chala hun jise pa bhi na sakun
The one that I desire, this heart cannot displace
The one who is unattainable I seek to embrace
