Ghareeb-E-Shehar Hon Mein, Sun To Le Meri Faryad
Ke Tere Sine Mein Bhi Hon Qayamatain Abad
I am quiet a stranger to the town, listen to my bewailings;
may thy breast entertain many a resurrection!
Meri Nawa’ay Gham Aalood Hai Mataa-E-Aziz
Jahan Mein Aam Nahin Doulat-E-Dil Na-Shaad
The grief‐laden songs of mine are valuable:
the unsatisfied heart is a wealth most uncommon.
Gila Hai Mujh Ko Zamane Ki Kaur Zauqi Se
Samjhta Hai Meri Mehnat Ko Mehnat-E-Farhad
I fear the world does not appreciate my labour,
it isn’t like Farhad’s:
Sada’ay Tesha K Bar Sang Mei-Khud Degar Ast
Khabar Bageer K Awaz-E-Tesha Wa Jigar Ast
The axe’s noise falling on the stone is something else,
Beware, it is voice of axe falling on the heart

“The axe’s noise…” This couplet is from Kharitah-i‐Jawahar, the famous notebook of Mirza Mazhar Janijanan (May God have mercy on him).
