Birth of Morning - سہر

More great Poetry in Urdu courtesy of my uncle

گر عثمانیوں پے کوہ غم ٹوٹا تو کیا غم ہے
کہ خون صد ہزار انجم سے ہوتی ہے سہر پیدا 

Narration:-

Usmaniya was the last nation of Muslim Monarchy in Eastern Asia, just before Britain invaded and defeated them. In the first verse, the poet mentions their staggering sorrow of being invaded and defeated by undermining it as nothing to feel sad for.
In the next verse s/he mentions that thousands of stars die to give birth to a morning (how night turns into morning)
