(Zarb-e-Kaleem-132) Jiddat

Jiddat
Newness

Dekhe Tu Zamane Ko Agar Apni Nazar Se
Aflaak Munnawar Hon Tere Noor-e-Sehar Se

If you behold the world with gaze much bright,
Of you the sky may beg morning light.

Khursheed Kare Kasb-e-Zia Tere Sharar Se
Zahir Teri Taqdeer Ho Seemaye Qamar Se

The sun may beg light from gleam of your spark
Your Luck may shine, from moonʹs brow, mark!

Darya Mutalatum Hon Teri Mouj-e-Guhar Se
Sharminda Ho Fitrat Tere Ejaz-e-Hunar Se

The sea may swell with lustrous waves of gems,
Put world to shame with art that from you stems.

Aghyar Ke Afkar-o-Takhiyyul Ki Gadai!
Kya Tujh Ko Nahin Apni Khudi Tak Bhi Rasai?

You beg and borrow thoughts of othersʹ brains,
Find approach to self, donʹt take much pains!
