yaad us ki itni khuub nahin 'mir' baaz aa — 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

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

koi viraani si viraani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayaa

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

ne tiir kamaan mein hai na sayyaad kamin mein
goshe mein qafas ke mujhe aaraam bahut hai

vo jo ham mein tum mein qaraar thaa tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho
vahi yaani vaada nibaah kaa tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho
