(Bal-e-Jibril-182) (شیر اور خچر) Sher Aur Khachar

(Bal-e-Jibril-182) Sher Aur Khachar

Sher Aur Khachar
The Lion And The Mule

Sher
THE LION 


Sakinaan-e-Dasht-o-Sehra Mein Hai Tu Sab Se Alag
Kon Hain Tere Ab-o-Jad, Kis Qabeele Se Hai Tu?

You are so different and unlike all the other dwellers of the wild and the desert!
Who are your parents and ancestors? and what is your tribe?

Khachar
THE MULE

Mere Mamoon Ko Nahin Pehchante Shaid Huzoor
Woh Saba Raftar, Shahi Istabal Ki Abru!

Perhaps your highness does not know My uncle—my motherʹs brother:
He gallops like the wind, and is the pride of the royal stable!

(Makhooz Az German)
Adapted from German
