dard uTThaa thaa mire pahlu mein — Baqa Baluch

zindagi se zindagi ruThi rahi
aadmi se aadmi barham rahaa

garmi-e-shiddat-e-jazbaat bataa detaa hai
dil to bhuli hui har baat bataa detaa hai

jism apne faani hain jaan apni faani hai faani hai ye duniyaa bhi
phir bhi faani duniyaa mein jaavedaan to main bhi huun jaavedaan to tum bhi ho

ek uljhan raat din palti rahi dil mein ki ham
kis nagar ki khaak the kis dasht mein Thahre rahe

main kinaare pe khaDaa huun to koi baat nahin
bahtaa rahtaa hai tiri yaad kaa dariyaa mujh mein

tu khush hai apni duniyaa mein
main tiri yaad mein jaltaa huun

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

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

vo dard huun koi chaara nahin hai jis kaa kahin
vo zakhm huun ki hai dushvaar indimaal miraa

baarish ke baa'd raat saDak aaina si thi
ik paanv paaniyon pe paDaa chaand hil gayaa

nur-e-sahar kahaan hai agar shaam-e-gham gai
kab iltifaat thaa ki jo khu-e-sitam gai
