amir-e-shahr kaa dil tang ho gayaa varna — Unknown

meri taqdir mein manzil nahin hai
ghubaar-e-kaarvaan hai aur main huun

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

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

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

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

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

gar nahin ye 'ishq to phir aur kyaa shai hai bhalaa
jo pas-e-parda rahe aur qalb meraa khaae hai
