kiyaa dard-o-gham ne mujhe naa-umid — 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

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

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

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mire aibon ko ginvaayaa to sab ne
kisi ne meri gham-khvaari nahin ki

hamaare she'r naghme aur sajde
adaa jo ho na paae kyaa hue vo

zindagi kaa har ik gham uThaate hue
main sanbhalne lagaa laDkhaDaate hue

main phir rahaa huun shahr mein saDkon pe ghaaliban
aavaaz de ke mujh ko miraa ghar pukaar le
