dil se shauq-e-rukh-e-niku na gayaa — 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

dil mubtalaa-e-hijr rifaaqat mein rah gayaa
lagtaa hai koi farq mohabbat mein rah gayaa

dil se ik yaad bhulaa di gai hai
kisi ghaflat ki sazaa di gai hai

duur tak phailaa huaa paani hi paani har taraf
ab ke baadal ne bahut ki mehrbaani har taraf

khamoshi se musibat aur bhi sangin hoti hai
taDap ai dil taDapne se zaraa taskin hoti hai
