Sher on Ummeed

We live because there

is always a hope around. Life may be tough but this toughness is softened because we see, or try to see, some rays of hope even in the clouds that hang low and heavy. It applies to all of us including the lovers who would perish if left in lurch without hope of union. You may be interested in looking at these verses.

dil nā-umīd to nahīñ nākām to hai

lambī hai ġham shaam magar shaam to hai

dil na-umid to nahin nakaam hi to hai

lambi hai gham ki sham magar sham hi to hai

Faiz Ahmad Faiz

ham ko un se vafā hai ummīd

jo nahīñ jānte vafā kyā hai

From her I hope for constancy

who knows it not, to my dismay

hum ko un se wafa ki hai ummid

jo nahin jaante wafa kya hai

From her I hope for constancy

who knows it not, to my dismay

Mirza Ghalib

na koī va.ada na koī yaqīñ na koī umiid

magar hameñ to tirā intizār karnā thā

no promise,surety, nor any hope was due

yet I had little choice but to wait for you

na koi wada na koi yaqin na koi umid

magar hamein to tera intizar karna tha

no promise,surety, nor any hope was due

yet I had little choice but to wait for you

Firaq Gorakhpuri

Fana Nizami Kanpuri

yuuñ to har shaam umīdoñ meñ guzar jaatī hai

aaj kuchh baat hai jo shaam pe ronā aayā

Every evening was, by hope, sustained

This evening's desperation makes me weep

yun to har sham umidon mein guzar jati hai

aaj kuchh baat hai jo sham pe rona aaya

Every evening was, by hope, sustained

This evening's desperation makes me weep

Shakeel Badayuni

ab tak dil-e-ḳhush-fahm ko tujh se haiñ umīdeñ

ye āḳhirī sham.eñ bhī bujhāne ke liye aa

my heart is optimistic yet, its hopes are still alive

come to snuff it out, let not this final flame survive

ab tak dil-e-KHush-fahm ko tujh se hain umiden

ye aaKHiri shamen bhi bujhane ke liye aa

my heart is optimistic yet, its hopes are still alive

come to snuff it out, let not this final flame survive

Ahmad Faraz

Nida Fazli

itnā bhī nā-umīd dil-e-kam-nazar na ho

mumkin nahīñ ki shām-e-alam sahar na ho

disheartened or shortsighted O heart you need not be

this night of sorrow surely will a dawn tomorrow see

itna bhi na-umid dil-e-kam-nazar na ho

mumkin nahin ki sham-e-alam ki sahar na ho

disheartened or shortsighted O heart you need not be

this night of sorrow surely will a dawn tomorrow see
