koi ummid bar nahin aati
Interesting Fact
(With apologies to the soul of Mirza Ghalib)
koī ummīd bar nahīñ aatī
koī chhuTTī nazar nahīñ aatī
halva milnā hai par nahīñ miltā
chaa.e aanī hai par nahīñ aatī
jo paḌosī ke ghar meñ aa.ī hai
vo miThā.ī idhar nahīñ aatī
duudh ghī gar nazar nahīñ aatā
bū bhī us kī magar nahīñ aatī
imtihāñ kyā qarīb hai yaaro
niiñd kyoñ raat bhar nahīñ aatī
Teacheroñ se najāt paane kī
koī sūrat nazar nahīñ aatī
ham ko murġhā banā ke kursī par
sharm ai master nahīñ aatī
roz paḌhnā bhī ik musībat hai
chhuTTiyoñ kī ḳhabar nahīñ aatī
saare teacher hoñ ḳhush sadā ham se
is kī sūrat nazar nahīñ aatī
bas riyāzī ko dekh kar chup huuñ
varna kyā baat kar nahīñ aatī
ḳhuub sote maze se ham lekin
koī shab be-sahar nahīñ aatī
koi ummid bar nahin aati
koi chhuTTi nazar nahin aati
halwa milna hai par nahin milta
chae aani hai par nahin aati
jo paDosi ke ghar mein aai hai
wo miThai idhar nahin aati
dudh ghi gar nazar nahin aata
bu bhi us ki magar nahin aati
imtihan kya qarib hai yaro
nind kyon raat bhar nahin aati
Teacheron se najat pane ki
koi surat nazar nahin aati
hum ko murgha bana ke kursi par
sharm ai master nahin aati
roz paDhna bhi ek musibat hai
chhuTTiyon ki KHabar nahin aati
sare teacher hon KHush sada hum se
is ki surat nazar nahin aati
bas riyazi ko dekh kar chup hun
warna kya baat kar nahin aati
KHub sote maze se hum lekin
koi shab be-sahar nahin aati
