tujhi ko jo yaan jalva-farmaa na dekhaa — Khwaja Meer Dard

ne gul ko hai sabaat na ham ko hai e'tibaar
kis baat par chaman havas-e-rang-o-bu karein

baagh-e-jahaan ke gul hain yaa khaar hain to ham hain
gar yaar hain to ham hain aghyaar hain to ham hain

aankhein bhi haae nazaa mein apni badal gaiin
sach hai ki bekasi mein koi aashnaa nahin

yak-ba-yak naam le uThaa meraa
ji mein kyaa us ke aa gayaa hogaa

ghaafil khudaa ki yaad pe mat bhuul zinhaar
apne taiin bhulaa de agar tu bhulaa sake

saaqi mire bhi dil ki taraf Tuk nigaah kar
lab-tishna teri bazm mein ye jaam rah gayaa

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

'abr' duniyaa ko chhoD jaane kaa
ik bahaana talaash karnaa hai

dekhnaa kam-nigahi kijiyo mat ai saaqi
ba-juz-ushshaaq hai mai sab ko baraabar pahunche

aandhiyon se Dartaa huun baarishon se Dartaa huun
jab se main ne Daalaa hai ik makaan shishe kaa

mere us ke darmiyaan haail kai kohsaar hain
mujh tak aate-aate baadal tishna-lab ho jaaegaa

hijr-e-jaanaan mein bhi aansu nahin aae mere
khushk sahraaon mein barsaat kabhi to hogi
