kaun letaa thaa naam majnun kaa — 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

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

yaad nahin kyaa kyaa dekhaa thaa saare manzar bhuul gae
us ki galiyon se jab lauTe apnaa bhi ghar bhuul gae

aa gayaa yaad unhein apne kisi gham kaa hisaab
hansne vaalon ne mire ashk jo gin ke dekhe

ek jhonkaa is tarah zanjir-e-dar khaDkaa gayaa
main ye samjhaa bhulne vaale ko main yaad aa gayaa

jab jab tum ko yaad karein ham
tab tab baarish ho jaati hai
