ham faqiron se be-adaai kyaa — Mir Taqi Mir

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

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

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

ham be-khudaan-e-mahfil-e-tasvir ab gae
aainda ham se aap mein aayaa na jaaegaa

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

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

tazkira soz-e-mohabbat kaa kiyaa thaa ik baar
taa-dam-e-marg zabaan se miri chhaale na gae

biich dariyaa mein utar kar dekhiye
'ishq-dariyaa mein kinaare kuchh nahin

ye mere saathi hain pyaare saathi magar inhein bhi nahin gavaaraa
main apni vahshat ke maqbare se nai tamannaa ke khvaab dekhun

sunte hain ishq naam ke guzre hain ik buzurg
ham log bhi faqir usi silsile ke hain
