harim-e-dil mein Thahar yaa saraa-e-jaan mein ruk — Mirza Athar Zia

ek dariyaa ko dikhaai thi kabhi pyaas apni
phir nahin maangaa kabhi main ne dobaaraa paani

meri aankhon se bhi ik baar nikal
dekhun main teri ravaani paani

mujh mein thoDi si jagah bhi nahin nafrat ke liye
main to har vaqt mohabbat se bharaa rahtaa huun

teri dahliz pe iqraar ki ummid liye
phir khaDe hain tire inkaar ke maare hue log

main adhuraa saa huun us ke andar
aur vo shakhs mukammal mujh mein

main hi aaina-e-duniyaa mein chalaa aayaa huun
yaa chali aai hai duniyaa mire aaine mein

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

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

teraa ghar aur meraa jangal bhigtaa hai saath saath
aisi barsaatein ki baadal bhigtaa hai saath saath

dil miraa zulf seti chhuT phansaa abru mein
kufr kuun tark kiyaa maail-e-mehraab huaa
