Top 20 Sher by Hafeez Jaunpuri

bosa-e-rukhsar par takrar rahne dijiye lijiye ya dijiye inkar rahne dijiye

baith jata hun jahan chhanw ghani hoti hai hae kya chiz gharib-ul-watani hoti hai translation i sit down wherever i see a shady space, ah! what a thing it is to live in another place. sagar akbarabadi

tandurusti se to behtar thi meri bimari wo kabhi puchh to lete the ki haal achchha hai

hasinon se faqat sahib-salamat dur ki achchhi na un ki dosti achchhi na un ki dushmani achchhi

aadmi ka aadmi har haal mein hamdard ho ek tawajjoh chahiye insan ko insan ki taraf

gaya jo hath se wo waqt phir nahin aata kahan umid ki phir din phiren hamare ab

meri sharab ki tauba pe ja na ai waiz nashe ki baat nahin e'tibar ke qabil

zahid ko rat lagi hai sharab-e-tuhur ki aaya hai mai-kade mein to sujhi hai dur ki

bura hi kya hai baratna purani rasmon ka kabhi sharab ka pina bhi kya halal na tha

yaad aain us ko dekh ke apni musibaten roe hum aaj khub lipat kar raqib se

aashiq ki be-kasi ka to aalam na puchhiye majnun pe kya guzar gai sahra gawah hai

sach hai is ek parde mein chhupte hain lakh aib yani janab-e-shaikh ki dadhi daraaz hai

akhir waqt hai kis munh se jaun masjid ko tamam umr to guzri sharab-khane mein

kafir-e-ishq ko kya dair-o-haram se matlab jis taraf tu hai udhar hi hamein sajda karna

shab-e-visal lagaya jo un ko sine se to hans ke bole alag baithiye qarine se

pari thi koi chhalawa thi ya jawani thi kahan ye ho gai champat jhalak dikha ke mujhe

pi lo do ghunt ki saqi ki rahe baat 'hafiz' saf inkar se khatir-shikani hoti hai

un ki yaktai ka dawa mit gaya aaine ne dusra paida kiya

jab mila koi hasin jaan par aafat aai sau jagah ahd-e-jawani mein tabiat aai

the chor mai-kade ke masjid ke rahne wale mai se bhara hua hai jo zarf hai wazu ka
