Sher of Bahadur Shah Zafar
'zafar' aadmī us ko na jāniyegā vo ho kaisā hī sāhab-e-fahm-o-zakā
jise aish meñ yād-e-ḳhudā na rahī jise taish meñ ḳhauf-e-ḳhudā na rahā
'zafar' aadmi us ko na jaaniyega wo ho kaisa hi sahab-e-fahm-o-zaka
jise aish mein yaad-e-KHuda na rahi jise taish mein KHauf-e-KHuda na raha
'zafar' aadmī us ko na jāniyegā vo ho kaisā hī sāhab-e-fahm-o-zakā
jise aish meñ yād-e-ḳhudā na rahī jise taish meñ ḳhauf-e-ḳhudā na rahā
'zafar' aadmi us ko na jaaniyega wo ho kaisa hi sahab-e-fahm-o-zaka
jise aish mein yaad-e-KHuda na rahi jise taish mein KHauf-e-KHuda na raha
in hasratoñ se kah do kahīñ aur jā baseñ
itnī jagah kahāñ hai dil-e-dāġh-dār meñ
tell all my desires to go find another place
in this scarred heart alas there isn't enough space
in hasraton se kah do kahin aur ja basen
itni jagah kahan hai dil-e-dagh-dar mein
tell all my desires to go find another place
in this scarred heart alas there isn't enough space

tum ne kiyā na yaad kabhī bhuul kar hameñ

na thī haal kī jab hameñ apne ḳhabar rahe dekhte auroñ ke aib o hunar
paḌī apnī burā.iyoñ par jo nazar to nigāh meñ koī burā na rahā
while unknowing of myself, in others faults did often see
when my own shortcomings saw, found no one else as bad as me

paDi apni buraiyon par jo nazar to nigah mein koi bura na raha
while unknowing of myself, in others faults did often see
when my own shortcomings saw, found no one else as bad as me
