Apna to nahin yaar main kuchh, yaar hoon tera - Khwaja Mir 'Dard'


Apna to nahin yaar main kuchh, yaar hoon tera

Tu jis ki taraf howey, tarafdaar hoon tera



Kurhne pe mere jee na kurha, teri balaa se

Apna to nahin gham mujhe, ghamkhwaar hoon tera



Tu chaahe na chaahe mujhe kuchh kaam nahin hai

Azaad hoon is se bhi, giraftaar hoon tera



Tu howey jahaan, mujh ko bhi hona waheen laazim

Tu gul hai meri jaan to, main khaar hoon tera



Hai ishq se mere hi tere husn ka shahra

Main kuchh nahin par, garmi-e-bazaar hoon tera



Meri bhi taraf tu kabhi aa jaa mere Yusuf

Burhiya ki tarah main bhi khareedar hoon tera



Aye �Dard� mujhe kuchh naheen ab aur to azaar

Us chasm se kah dena ki bimaar hoon tera



~ Hazrat Khwaja Mir �Dard�

He described Rumi as �He of tall building, and of goodly pride�. Shakespeare admitted that Rumi�s verses were so powerful that they were stopping his thoughts before he was able to formulate them. Although Shakespeare was strongly influenced by Rumi�s poetry, it should be emphasized that his writings were not merely some adaptations of Rumi�s illustrations from an Eastern environment into the Western culture. Such understanding would greatly diminish Shakespeare�s role. Shakespeare wa...
