Poem

More Urdu poetry from our Poets Corner: 

Baarish (Rain)

Ek asrah,(A mercy)

jaab chuleh maan ko (when it touches the soul)

aur tandah khar deh dil ko (and cools the heart)

woh hai baarish (that is rain). 

Koshish

Koshish,
Kuch hosh bi hai,
Sochtah hu,
key jaab kuch hassil karnah ho,
tho koshish karnah,
kaabi nah chor saktah hu. 


Translation.  Effort


Effort,
Are you even awake?
I wonder,
if anything is to be achieved,
I can never stop making an effort. 

Ameer aur Ghareeb

Ameer aur ghareeb,
Rah dhoor aur kareeb,
Ek khumar ek sharif
Kaar farayb yah farid,
Ameer aur ghareeb,
Ek ghulam, ek hanif,
Ho khilaaf yah khalif
Rah doh ek latif, 
Joh hai ameer aur ghareeb.
