dil ki yak qatra khuun nahin hai besh — 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

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

kahnaa thaa kisu se kuchh taktaa thaa kisu kaa munh
kal 'mir' khaDaa thaa yaan sach hai ki divaana thaa

zamaane ne mujh jura-kash ko nidaan
kiyaa khaak-o-khisht-e-sar-e-khum kiyaa

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

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

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

vo bhi milne nai poshaak badal kar aayaa
main jo kal pairahan-e-khaak badal kar aayaa

badan ke karb ko vo bhi samajh na paaegaa
main dil mein roungi aankhon mein muskuraaungi

ai be-khudi-e-dil mujhe ye bhi khabar nahin
kis din bahaar aai main divaana kab huaa

adaa se dekh lo jaataa rahe gila dil kaa
bas ik nigaah pe Thahraa hai faisla dil kaa
