Ya mujhe afsar-e-shahaana banaaya hota - Hazrat Bahadur Shah �Zafar�





Ya mujhe afsar-e-shahaana banaaya hota
Ya mera taaj gadayana banaaya hota

Apna deewana banaya mujhe hota tu ne
Kyun khirad mand banaaya, na banaaya hota

Khaksaari ke liye gar che banaaya tha mujhe
Kaash !!! sang-e-dar-e-janaana banaay hota

Nash�aa-e-ishq ka gar zarf diya tha mujh ko
Umr ka tang na paimaana banaaya hota

Dil-e-sad chaak banaaya, to balaa se, lekin
Zulf-e-mushkeen ka teri shaana banaaya hota

Soofiyon ke jo na tha laayaq-e-sohbat to mujhe
Qaabil-e-jalsa-e-rindaana banaay hota

Tha jalaana hi agar doori-e-saaqi se mujhe
To charaagh-e-dar-e-janaana banaaya hota

Roz maamoora-e-duniyaa mein kharaabi hai �Zafar�
Aisi basti se to weerana banaaya hota

~ Hazrat Bahadur Shah �Zafar�

In his Sonnets, Shakespeare acknowledged that his writings were inspired by Rumi�s poetry. He referred to Rumi as one of �Alien pens� whom he was asked to study. 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...
