harim-e-dil mein Thahar yaa saraa-e-jaan mein ruk — Mirza Athar Zia

ek dariyaa ko dikhaai thi kabhi pyaas apni
phir nahin maangaa kabhi main ne dobaaraa paani

meri aankhon se bhi ik baar nikal
dekhun main teri ravaani paani

mujh mein thoDi si jagah bhi nahin nafrat ke liye
main to har vaqt mohabbat se bharaa rahtaa huun

teri dahliz pe iqraar ki ummid liye
phir khaDe hain tire inkaar ke maare hue log

main adhuraa saa huun us ke andar
aur vo shakhs mukammal mujh mein

main hi aaina-e-duniyaa mein chalaa aayaa huun
yaa chali aai hai duniyaa mire aaine mein

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

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa
