اردو شاعری

مدّتہوئیہےیارکومہماںکیےہوئے

جوشِقدحسےبزمچراغاںکیےہوئے

مرزاغالب

Muddat hui hai yaar ko mehmaan kiye hue

josh-e-qadah se bazm charaaGhaan kiye hue

It's has been quite long since my invitation to my friends. 

The gathering, heated up with goblets.

Mirza Ghalib

جیڈھونڈتاہےپھروہیفرصت  کیے  راتدن

بیٹھےرہیںتصورجاناںکیےہوئے

مرزاغالب

Jee Dhundta Hai Phir Wohi Fursat Ki Raat Din

Baithe Rahen Tasawar-e-Janan Kiye Hue

Mirza Ghalib

Again, my heart desires to seek leisurely days and nights.

Waiting to lose myself in thoughts of my mahbooba (lover).

جیسےجیسے  منزلنظرآتیہے

سامانسفرتنگہوتاجاتاہے

Jasay jasay Manzil nazar aatee hai

Samaan e safar taangh ho taa jaa taa hai

As the journey starts to end and the destination nears

The goods man carries start to dwindle.

By Nadir.

نہکمنہزیادہانسانکووہیملےگاجوہےتقدیرکافیصلہ

Whatever is man’s destiny will be his share

Not an iota less nor more will be his

آنسونکلآئےتوخودپوچھئےگا

لوگپونچھنےآئینگےتوسودہکرینگے

If tears come out, wipe them yourself 

If people come to do it they will try to make a deal
