Sher on Beniyazi
Not being overly concerned
may take two forms. It may a negative attitude and make one careless of everything around. The other one is rather spiritualist and is a characteristic of the men of God. Urdu poetry has many images of the beloveds who remain unconcerned and cause misery to lovers. We have a small selection here taking various shades of this attitude into account.
ye adā-e-be-niyāzī tujhe bevafā mubārak
magar aisī be-ruḳhī kyā ki salām tak na pahuñche
ye ada-e-be-niyazi tujhe bewafa mubarak
magar aisi be-ruKHi kya ki salam tak na pahunche

be-niyāzī had se guzrī banda-parvar kab talak
ham kaheñge hāl-e-dil aur aap farmāveñge kyā
All bounds, your callousness exceeds, do tell me until when
My feelings I keep pouring out, your asking me what then?
be-niyazi had se guzri banda-parwar kab talak
hum kahenge haal-e-dil aur aap farmawenge kya
All bounds, your callousness exceeds, do tell me until when
My feelings I keep pouring out, your asking me what then?
mujhe ab dekhtī hai zindagī yuuñ be-niyāzāna
ki jaise pūchhtī ho kaun ho tum justujū kyā hai
mujhe ab dekhti hai zindagi yun be-niyazana
ki jaise puchhti ho kaun ho tum justuju kya hai
āshiqoñ kī ḳhastagī bad-halī kī parvā nahīñ
ai sarāpā naaz tū ne be-niyāzī ḳhuub kī
aashiqon ki KHastagi bad-hali ki parwa nahin
ai sarapa naz tu ne be-niyazi KHub ki
kyā āj-kal se us kī ye be-tavajjohī hai
muñh un ne is taraf se pherā hai 'mīr' kab kā
kya aaj-kal se us ki ye be-tawajjohi hai
munh un ne is taraf se phera hai 'mir' kab ka
saarī duniyā se be-niyāzī hai
vaah ai mast-e-nāz kyā kahnā
sari duniya se be-niyazi hai
wah ai mast-e-naz kya kahna
