Sher on Qaid

shajar kī yaad rulātī hī thī magar ab to

jo āshiyāñ ke barābar thā vo qafas bhī gayā

shajar ki yaad rulati hi thi magar ab to

jo aashiyan ke barabar tha wo qafas bhi gaya

qaid-e-āvārgī-e-jāñ hī bahut hai mujh ko

ek dīvār mirī ruuh ke andar na banā

qaid-e-awargi-e-jaan hi bahut hai mujh ko

ek diwar meri ruh ke andar na bana

ḳhat-o-kākul-o-zulf-o-andāz-o-nāz

huiiñ dām-e-rah sad-giraftāriyāñ

KHat-o-kakul-o-zulf-o-andaz-o-naz

huin dam-e-rah sad-giraftariyan
