Urdu Yari Poetry: 30 Sher on Friendship (Trans)

Yaari nibhaaye jo har haal mein,
Wohi sacha yaar kehlaaye kamaal mein.
One who maintains friendship in every situation,
Is called a true and excellent friend.
Mushkil mein jo de saath sacha,
Wohi yaar kehlaaye sab se acha.
One who gives true support in difficulty,
Is called the best friend of all.

Yaaron ki mehfil, dil ka qaraar,
Gham bhulaaye, laaye bahaar.
A gathering of friends, the heart’s solace,
Forgets sorrows, brings spring.

Yaari ka rishta na toote kabhi,
Chaahe aayein mushkilein kitni bhi.
May the bond of friendship never break,
No matter how many difficulties come.

Matlab ki yaari kya yaari hai,
Dil se ho toh phir kya baat pyaari hai.
What kind of friendship is one based on self-interest?
If it’s from the heart, then how lovely it is.

Sacha yaar aaina hota hai,
Khoobi khaami sab kuch kehta hai.
A true friend is like a mirror,
He tells you everything, your strengths and weaknesses.

Yaaron ke dam se hai raunaq jahaan,
Warna yeh duniya toh hai veeraan.
The world is vibrant because of friends,
Otherwise, this world is desolate.

Yaari mein nahin hoti koi shart,
Bas dil se juda ho dil ka rakht.
There are no conditions in friendship,
Just the heart’s connection tied to the heart.

Yaar woh jo dukh mein kaam aaye,
Khushi mein toh har koi saath nibhaaye.
A friend is one who helps in sorrow,
In happiness, everyone offers company.

Yaari ka naghma gaate chalo,
Ek dooje ka haath thaame chalo.
Keep singing the song of friendship,
Keep holding each other’s hands.

Dost nahin toh zindagi adhoori,
Yaaron se hi toh hai yeh poori.
Without friends, life is incomplete,
It is complete only with friends.

Yaar ki khaatir jaan bhi haazir,
Aisi yaari pe dil hai shaakir.
Even life is ready for a friend’s sake,
The heart is grateful for such friendship.

Waqt badle, zamaana badle,
Yaar sache kabhi na badlein.
Times may change, the era may change,
True friends never change.

Yaari ka jazba hai anmol,
Is ka nahin koi bhi mol.
The emotion of friendship is priceless,
It has no price at all.

Yaar ki khushi mein apni khushi,
Yahi toh hai yaari ki sachi roshni.
Finding one’s own happiness in a friend’s happiness,
This is the true light of friendship.

Faasle dilon mein na laana kabhi,
Yaaron se barh kar nahin koi ghani.
Never let distances come between hearts,
No one is richer than one who has friends.

Yaar mile toh dil ko sukoon aaye,
Zindagi ki har mushkil aasaan ho jaaye.
When a friend meets, the heart finds peace,
Every difficulty of life becomes easy.

Nibhaate hain yaar, seedhe saade.
Oaths of friendship, promises of friendship,
Simple, honest friends fulfill them.

Yaaron ki dua, ik mazboot dhaal,
Bachaaye har aafat se, har haal.

Un ki yaari, hai sab se badi hasti.

Their friendship is the greatest asset.

Is pe qaayam rahe, yeh rishta har baar.

May this relationship always stand firm on it.

Yaar bin zindagi, veeraan si lage,
Jaise koi shama, bujh si jaaye.
Life without a friend feels desolate,
As if a candle has been extinguished.

Ek yaar ho, jo samjhe bin kahe,
Aisi yaari, zamaane mein rahe.
May there be a friend who understands without being told,
May such friendship endure in the world.

Yaaron ke sang, har pal hai jashn,
Door hote hain, saare ranj-o-mehan.
With friends, every moment is a celebration,
All sorrows and troubles stay away.

Yaari ki khushboo, dil mein bas jaaye,
Zindagi ka har lamha, mehak jaaye.
May the fragrance of friendship settle in the heart,
May every moment of life become fragrant.

Yaar na ho toh, kaun sune dil ki baat,
Kaun de mushkil mein, hausle ki saughaat.
If there’s no friend, who will listen to the heart’s talk?
Who will give the gift of courage in difficulty?

Yaari ka charaagh, roshan rahe sadaa,
Andheron mein bhi, de raasta dikha.
May the lamp of friendship always remain lit,
And show the way even in darkness.

Yaar woh jo ghalti pe toke pyaar se,
Dushman na samjhe, bachaaye har waar se.
A friend is one who corrects a mistake lovingly,
Doesn’t consider you an enemy, protects from every attack.

Dil se dil ka maamla, be-hisaab hota hai.
There are no accounts in friendship,
The matter of heart to heart is immeasurable.

Salaamat rahe yaari, yeh dua hai dil se,
Milte rahein yaar, khushi aur khuloos se.
May friendship remain safe, this is a prayer from the heart,
May friends keep meeting with happiness and sincerity.
