Sher on Insaan
Human beings belong
to the category of God’s supreme creation. Man has to deserve to be a human being as it calls for great perseverance to achieve that status. Poetic discourses on men and human beings are spread in poetry in all languages. Here are a few samples from Urdu poets that you may like to read and enjoy.
har aadmī meñ hote haiñ das biis aadmī
jis ko bhī dekhnā ho ka.ī baar dekhnā
har aadmi mein hote hain das bis aadmi
jis ko bhi dekhna ho kai bar dekhna

bas-ki dushvār hai har kaam kā āsāñ honā
aadmī ko bhī muyassar nahīñ insāñ honā
Tis difficult that every goal be easily complete
For a man, too, to be human, is no easy feat
bas-ki dushwar hai har kaam ka aasan hona
aadmi ko bhi muyassar nahin insan hona
Tis difficult that every goal be easily complete
For a man, too, to be human, is no easy feat
bastī meñ apnī hindū musalmāñ jo bas ga.e
insāñ kī shakl dekhne ko ham taras ga.e
basti mein apni hindu musalman jo bas gae
insan ki shakl dekhne ko hum taras gae
ḳhud ko bikharte dekhte haiñ kuchh kar nahīñ paate haiñ
phir bhī log ḳhudāoñ jaisī bāteñ karte haiñ
KHud ko bikharte dekhte hain kuchh kar nahin pate hain
phir bhi log KHudaon jaisi baaten karte hain
