dil se rukhsat hui koi khvaahish — 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

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

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

chalte ho to chaman ko chaliye kahte hain ki bahaaraan hai
paat hare hain phuul khile hain kam-kam baad-o-baaraan hai

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

khiDki ne aanhkein kholi
darvaaze kaa dil dhaDkaa

mohabbat kaa tum se asar kyaa kahun
nazar mil gai dil dhaDakne lagaa

hasinon ki donon adaaein hain dilbar
kisi ki hayaa to sharaarat kisi ki

mashghul hain safaai-o-tausi-e-dil mein ham
tangi na is makaan mein ho mehmaan ko
