dekh to dil ki jaan se uThtaa hai — Mir Taqi Mir

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge

dikhaai diye yuun ki be-khud kiyaa
hamein aap se bhi judaa kar chale

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

mire saliqe se meri nibhi mohabbat mein
tamaam umr main naakaamiyon se kaam liyaa

dil ki yak qatra khuun nahin hai besh
ek aalam ke sar balaa laayaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

miri zabaan ke mausam badalte rahte hain
main aadmi huun miraa e'tibaar mat karnaa
