Sher on Pyas

Thirst! It is not only

the usual thirst that poets necessarily speak about. It is also the thirst for wine, for love, and for all such things that help us appreciate the meaning of lust and longing. Various facets of thirst are here for you to appreciate.

ab to utnī bhī mayassar nahīñ mai-ḳhāne meñ

jitnī ham chhoḌ diyā karte the paimāne meñ

the tavern does not even give that much wine to me

that I was wont to waste in the goblet casually

ab to utni bhi mayassar nahin mai-KHane mein

jitni hum chhoD diya karte the paimane mein

the tavern does not even give that much wine to me

that I was wont to waste in the goblet casually

Divakar Rahi

bahut ġhurūr hai dariyā ko apne hone par

jo merī pyaas se uljhe to dhajjiyāñ uḌ jaa.eñ

bahut ghurur hai dariya ko apne hone par

jo meri pyas se uljhe to dhajjiyan uD jaen

Rahat Indori

tum us ke paas ho jis ko tumhārī chaah na thī

kahāñ pe pyaas thī dariyā kahāñ banāyā gayā

tum us ke pas ho jis ko tumhaari chah na thi

kahan pe pyas thi dariya kahan banaya gaya

Yasir Khan Inam

piitā huuñ jitnī utnī baḌhtī hai tishnagī

saaqī ne jaise pyaas milā sharāb meñ

pita hun jitni utni hi baDhti hai tishnagi

saqi ne jaise pyas mila di sharab mein

sāqiyā tishnagī taab nahīñ

zahr de de agar sharāb nahīñ

saqiya tishnagi ki tab nahin

zahr de de agar sharab nahin

Dagh Dehlvi

vo jo pyāsā lagtā thā sailāb-zada thā

paanī paanī kahte kahte Duub gayā hai

wo jo pyasa lagta tha sailab-zada tha

pani pani kahte kahte Dub gaya hai

Aanis Moin

kitne dinoñ ke pyāse hoñge yaaro socho to

shabnam qatra bhī jin ko dariyā lagtā hai

those people have been parched for many many years

to whom even a drop of dew an ocean appears

kitne dinon ke pyase honge yaro socho to

shabnam ka qatra bhi jin ko dariya lagta hai

those people have been parched for many many years

to whom even a drop of dew an ocean appears

Qaisarul Jafri

pyaas baḌhtī rahī hai bahtā dariyā dekh kar

bhāgtī jaatī haiñ lahreñ ye tamāshā dekh kar

pyas baDhti ja rahi hai bahta dariya dekh kar

bhagti jati hain lahren ye tamasha dekh kar

Saqi Faruqi

tishna-lab aisā ki hoñToñ pe paḌe haiñ chhāle

mutma.in aisā huuñ dariyā ko bhī hairānī hai

tishna-lab aisa ki honTon pe paDe hain chhaale

mutmain aisa hun dariya ko bhi hairani hai

Qamar Abbas Qamar

aisī pyaas aur aisā sabr

dariyā paanī paanī hai

aisi pyas aur aisa sabr

dariya pani pani hai

vo majbūrī maut hai jis meñ kaase ko buniyād mile

pyaas shiddat jab baḌhtī hai Dar lagtā hai paanī se

wo majburi maut hai jis mein kase ko buniyaad mile

pyas ki shiddat jab baDhti hai Dar lagta hai pani se

Mohsin Asrar

ruuh kis mast pyāsī ga.ī mai-ḳhāne se

mai uḌī jaatī hai saaqī tire paimāne se

ruh kis mast ki pyasi gai mai-KHane se

mai uDi jati hai saqi tere paimane se

Dagh Dehlvi

vo sāmne haiñ magar tishnagī nahīñ jaatī

ye kyā sitam hai ki dariyā sarāb jaisā hai

wo samne hain magar tishnagi nahin jati

ye kya sitam hai ki dariya sarab jaisa hai

kamāl-e-tishnagī se bujhā lete haiñ pyaas apnī

isī tapte hue sahrā ko ham dariyā samajhte haiñ

kamal-e-tishnagi hi se bujha lete hain pyas apni

isi tapte hue sahra ko hum dariya samajhte hain

Jigar Moradabadi

saaqī mire bhī dil taraf Tuk nigāh kar

lab-tishna terī bazm meñ ye jaam rah gayā

saqi mere bhi dil ki taraf Tuk nigah kar

lab-tishna teri bazm mein ye jam rah gaya

Khwaja Meer Dard

aaj kar bhī vahī tishna-labī hai saaqī

lutf meñ tere kahīñ koī kamī hai saaqī

aaj pi kar bhi wahi tishna-labi hai saqi

lutf mein tere kahin koi kami hai saqi

Aale Ahmad Suroor

jise bhī pyaas bujhānī ho mere paas rahe

kabhī bhī apne laboñ se chhalakne lagtā huuñ

jise bhi pyas bujhani ho mere pas rahe

kabhi bhi apne labon se chhalakne lagta hun

Farhat Ehsas

saaqī mujhe ḳhumār satā.e hai sharāb

martā huuñ tishnagī se ai zālim pilā sharāb

marta hun tishnagi se ai zalim pila sharab

Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

sāhil tamām ashk-e-nadāmat se aT gayā

dariyā se koī shaḳhs to pyāsā palaT gayā

sahil tamam ashk-e-nadamat se aT gaya

dariya se koi shaKHs to pyasa palaT gaya

Shakeb Jalali

harf apne ma.ānī tarah hotā hai

pyaas zā.iqa paanī tarah hotā hai

harf apne hi maani ki tarah hota hai

pyas ka zaiqa pani ki tarah hota hai

donoñ apnī apnī pyaas bujhāte haiñ

do dariya bhi jab aapas mein milte hain

donon apni apni pyas bujhate hain

phir is ke baad hameñ tishnagī rahe na rahe

kuchh aur der muravvat se kaam le saaqī

phir is ke baad hamein tishnagi rahe na rahe

kuchh aur der murawwat se kaam le saqi
