hamein bhi dekh ki ham aarzu ke sahraa mein — Mohammad Deen Taseer

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

daavar-e-hashr miraa naama-e-aamaal na dekh
is mein kuchh parda-nashinon ke bhi naam aate hain

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

meri vafaaein yaad karoge
rooge fariyaad karoge

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

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

aarzu lutf talab ishq saraasar naakaam
mubtalaa zindagi-e-dil inhin auhaam mein hai

mujhe ye Dar hai tiri aarzu na miT jaae
bahut dinon se tabiat miri udaas nahin

vo nahin hai na sahi tark-e-tamannaa na karo
dil akelaa hai ise aur akelaa na karo

khaak mein kis din milaati hai mujhe
us se milne ki tamannaa dekhiye
