daavar-e-hashr miraa naama-e-aamaal na dekh — Mohammad Deen Taseer

vo mile to be-takalluf na mile to be-iraada
na tariq-e-aashnaai na rusum-e-jaam-o-baadaa

jis tarah ham ne raatein kaaTi hain
us tarah ham ne din guzaare hain

meri vafaaein yaad karoge
rooge fariyaad karoge

hamein bhi dekh ki ham aarzu ke sahraa mein
khile hue hain kisi zakhm-e-aarzu ki tarah

ye Dar hai qaafile vaalo kahin na gum kar de
miraa hi apnaa uThaayaa huaa ghubaar mujhe

rabt hai husn o ishq mein baaham
ek dariyaa ke do kinaare hain

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne
