saraapaa aarzu hone ne banda kar diyaa ham ko — 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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ai gham-e-ishq tujh se haar gae
jaan de kar bhi sharmsaar uThe

pyaar hai mujh ko zindagi se bahut
aur tu zindagi se pyaari hai

dil us chashm ko vo dil-e-zaar ko
ki dekhe hai bimaar bimaar ko

zabaan khaamosh magar nazron mein ujaalaa dekhaa
us kaa izhaar-e-mohabbat bhi niraalaa dekhaa
