zakhm jhele daagh bhi khaae bahut — 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

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

kisi ko saal-e-nau ki kyaa mubaarakbaad di jaae
calender ke badalne se muqaddar kab badaltaa hai

qarib dekh ke us ko ye baat kis se kahun
khayaal dil mein jo aayaa gunaah jaisaa thaa

ye vasl ki rut hai ki judaai kaa hai mausam
ye gulshan-e-dil hai ki bayaabaan kahin kaa

ham mein baaqi nahin ab khaalid-e-jaan-baaz kaa rang
dil pe ghaalib hai faqat hafiz-e-shiraaz kaa rang
