Sher on Tauba

We take vows many times

and many times we break our vows. There are several things that are simply irresistible like sin—be it small or big. Sin is sweet which makes us commit it again and again and abstain from the same yet again. Here is a selection that visits the idea and practice of abstinence and vows-breaking from various angles. You may like to read and enjoy this selection.

shab ko mai ḳhuub sub.h ko tauba kar

riñd ke riñd rahe haath se jannat na ga.ī

shab ko mai KHub si pi subh ko tauba kar li

rind ke rind rahe hath se jannat na gai

Jalal Lakhnavi

barsāt ke aate tauba na rahī baaqī

bādal jo nazar aa.e badlī merī nīyat bhī

barsat ke aate hi tauba na rahi baqi

baadal jo nazar aae badli meri niyat bhi

Hasrat Mohani

the wishes of my saaqii I will not ignore

the vow of abstinence I take, will forthwith abjure

vo kaun haiñ jinheñ tauba mil ga.ī fursat

hameñ gunāh bhī karne ko zindagī kam hai

who are those that seem to find the time for to repent

for us this life is too short to sin to heart's content

wo kaun hain jinhen tauba ki mil gai fursat

hamein gunah bhi karne ko zindagi kam hai

who are those that seem to find the time for to repent

for us this life is too short to sin to heart's content
