jidhar ko miri chashm-e-tar jaaegi — Mirza Maseeta Beg Muntahi

khud rahm kijiye dil-e-ummid-vaar par
aaphi nikaaliye koi surat nibaah ki

tere baazaar-e-dahr mein gardun
ham bhi aae hain ik qabaa ke liye

jalaa kar zaahidon ko mai-kashon ko shaad karte hain
giraa kar masjidon ko mai-kade aabaad karte hain

piiri hui shabaab se utraa jhaTak gayaa
shaaer huun meraa misra-e-saani laTak gayaa

baad marne ke Thikaane lag gai miTTi miri
khaak se aashiq ki kyaa kyaa yaar ke saaghar bane

tohmat-e-jurm-o-khataa hirs-o-havaa ghaflat-e-dil
ham ne baazaar se hasti ke liyaa kyaa kyaa kuchh

mujid jo nuur kaa hai vo meraa charaagh hai
parvaana huun main anjuman-e-kaaenaat kaa

mauj-e-dariyaa kaa koi khauf nahin hai lekin
hain tabi'at pe giraan-baar kinaare is ke

hamesha shefta rakhte hain apne husn-e-qudrat kaa
khud us ki ruuh ho jaate hain jis kaa tan banaate hain

saahil saahil daar saje hain mauj mauj zanjirein hain
Dubne vaale dariyaa dariyaa jashn manaate rahte hain

ham pahaaDon ko raund aae the
jab saliqa nahin thaa chalne kaa

har mauj gale lag ke ye kahti hai Thahar jaao
dariyaa kaa ishaara hai ki ham paar utar jaaein
