Sher on New Year
The arrival of a new
year is a cause for celebration. It marks the end of one journey and the beginning of another. This is, however, a momentary pleasure and keeps us oblivious of the times that may not be as welcome as this one. These verses bring the pleasures that the New Year brings to us along with new promises.
aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
aaj ek aur baras bit gaya us ke baghair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamane mere

ik saal gayā ik saal nayā hai aane ko
par vaqt kā ab bhī hosh nahīñ dīvāne ko
ek sal gaya ek sal naya hai aane ko
par waqt ka ab bhi hosh nahin diwane ko
na shab o roz hī badle haiñ na haal achchhā hai
kis barhaman ne kahā thā ki ye saal achchhā hai
na shab o roz hi badle hain na haal achchha hai
kis barhaman ne kaha tha ki ye sal achchha hai
tū nayā hai to dikhā sub.h na.ī shaam na.ī
varna in āñkhoñ ne dekhe haiñ na.e saal ka.ī
tu naya hai to dikha subh nai sham nai
warna in aankhon ne dekhe hain nae sal kai
kisī ko sāl-e-nau kī kyā mubārakbād dī jaa.e
calender ke badalne se muqaddar kab badaltā hai
kisi ko sal-e-nau ki kya mubarakbaad di jae
calender ke badalne se muqaddar kab badalta hai
yakum january hai nayā saal hai
december meñ pūchhūñgā kyā haal hai
yakum january hai naya sal hai
december mein puchhunga kya haal hai
kuchh ḳhushiyāñ kuchh aañsū de kar Taal gayā
jīvan kā ik aur sunahrā saal gayā
kuchh KHushiyan kuchh aansu de kar Tal gaya
jiwan ka ek aur sunahra sal gaya
na koī rañj kā lamha kisī ke paas aa.e
ḳhudā kare ki nayā saal sab ko raas aa.e
na koi ranj ka lamha kisi ke pas aae
KHuda kare ki naya sal sab ko ras aae
dekhiye paate haiñ ushshāq butoñ se kyā faiz
ik barahman ne kahā hai ki ye saal achchhā hai
dekhiye pate hain ushshaq buton se kya faiz
ek barahman ne kaha hai ki ye sal achchha hai
phir na.e saal kī sarhad pe khaḌe haiñ ham log
raakh ho jā.egā ye saal bhī hairat kaisī
phir nae sal ki sarhad pe khaDe hain hum log
rakh ho jaega ye sal bhi hairat kaisi
ik ajnabī ke haath meñ de kar hamārā haath
lo saath chhoḌne lagā āḳhir ye saal bhī
ek ajnabi ke hath mein de kar hamara hath
lo sath chhoDne laga aaKHir ye sal bhi
ek baras aur biit gayā
kab tak ḳhaak uḌānī hai
ek baras aur bit gaya
kab tak KHak uDani hai
