dard-e-sar hai teri sab pand-o-nasihat naaseh — Mardan Ali Khan Rana

rasm ulTi hai khub-ruyon ki
dost jis ke bano vo dushman hai

ki riyaa se na shaikh ne tauba
mar gayaa vo gunaahgaar afsos

tere aate hi dekh raahat-e-jaan
chain hai sabr hai qaraar hai aaj

jis ko dekho vo nuur kaa buqa
ye paristaan hai ki london hai

pyaar ki baatein kijiye saahab
lutf sohbat kaa guftugu se hai

diyaa vo jo na thaa vahm-o-gumaan mein
bhalaa main aur kyaa maangun khudaa se

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ik safina hai tiri yaad agar
ik samundar hai miri tanhaai

udaasi muskuraati hai miyaan tab sher hote hain
nami aankhon mein aati hai miyaan tab sher hote hain

zard chehron se udaasi ke bichhaDne kaa sabab
log puchheinge to kah denaa ki dukh haar gayaa
