ham be-khudaan-e-mahfil-e-tasvir ab gae — 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

kiyaa dard-o-gham ne mujhe naa-umid
ki majnun ko ye hi thiin bimaariyaan

haath chaDh jaaiyo ai shaikh kisu ke na kabhu
launDe sab tere kharidaar hain maikhaane ke

is justuju mein aur kharaabi to kyaa kahein
itni nahin hui hai sabaa dar-ba-dar ki ham

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

ruuh kis mast ki pyaasi gai mai-khaane se
mai uDi jaati hai saaqi tire paimaane se

is havaa mein kar rahe hain ham tiraa hi intizaar
aa kahin jaldi se saaqi shisha o saaghar samet

vo dard huun koi chaara nahin hai jis kaa kahin
vo zakhm huun ki hai dushvaar indimaal miraa

uD gae sab chaman ko rah gae ham
chaar tinkon kaa aashiyaan le kar
