Sher-o-Shayari 51
aa andalīb mil ke kareñ āh-o-zāriyāñ
tū haa.e gul pukār maiñ chillā.ūñ haa.e dil
in one voice, o nightingale, the heavens let us rent
you cry out for the flowers and, I for mine heart lament
aa andalib mil ke karen aah-o-zariyan
tu hae gul pukar main chillaun hae dil
in one voice, o nightingale, the heavens let us rent
you cry out for the flowers and, I for mine heart lament
TuuTe but masjid banī mismār but-ḳhāna huā
jab to ik sūrat bhī thī ab saaf vīrāna huā
TuTe but masjid bani mismar but-KHana hua
jab to ek surat bhi thi ab saf virana hua
dīd-e-lailā ke liye dīda-e-majnūñ hai zarūr
merī āñkhoñ se koī dekhe tamāshā terā
did-e-laila ke liye dida-e-majnun hai zarur
meri aankhon se koi dekhe tamasha tera
chāñdnī rātoñ meñ chillātā phirā
chāñd sī jis ne vo sūrat dekh lī
chandni raaton mein chillata phira
chand si jis ne wo surat dekh li
ka.abe ko jaatā kis liye hindostāñ se maiñ
kis but meñ shahr-e-hind ke shān-e-ḳhudā na thī
kabe ko jata kis liye hindostan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shan-e-KHuda na thi
