bas ai girya aankhein tiri kyaa nahin hain — Mir Taqi Mir

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

dikhaai diye yuun ki be-khud kiyaa
hamein aap se bhi judaa kar chale

'mir'-saahib zamaana naazuk hai
donon haathon se thaamiye dastaar

mire saliqe se meri nibhi mohabbat mein
tamaam umr main naakaamiyon se kaam liyaa

shab-e-vaada fasil-e-hijr se aage chamaktaa hai tiraa ism-e-sitaara-ju
ki jaise koi paivand-e-ridaa-e-subh aa jaae kisi qindil ki zad mein

andheri shab kaa ye khvaab-manzar mujhe ujaalon se bhar rahaa hai
to raat itni tavil kar de ki taa-qayaamat sahar na aae

haan dikhaa de ai tasavvur phir vo subh o shaam tu
dauD pichhe ki taraf ai gardish-e-ayyaam tu

har subh nikalte hain yahi soch ke ghar se
bikhri hui duniyaa ko sameTeinge kisi din

aankhon mein meri subh-e-qayaamat gai jhamak
siine se us pari ke jo parda ulaT gayaa

nasim-e-subh yuun le kar tiraa paighaam aati hai
pari jaise koi haathon mein le kar jaam aati hai
