dushmanī laakh sahī ḳhatm na kiije rishta — Nida Fazli

baḌe baḌe ġham khaḌe hue the rasta roke rāhoñ meñ
chhoTī chhoTī ḳhushiyoñ se hī ham ne dil ko shaad kiyā

yuuñ to qadam qadam pe hai dīvār sāmne
koī na ho to ḳhud se ulajh jaanā chāhiye

dil meñ na ho jur.at to mohabbat nahīñ miltī
ḳhairāt meñ itnī baḌī daulat nahīñ miltī

kabhī kisī ko mukammal jahāñ nahīñ miltā
kahīñ zamīn kahīñ āsmāñ nahīñ miltā

bahut mushkil hai banjāra-mizājī
salīqa chāhiye āvārgī meñ

hamārā 'mīr'-jī se muttafiq honā hai nā-mumkin
uThānā hai jo patthar ishq kā to halkā bhārī kyā

Dil dhoondta hai phir wahi fursat-e-shab-o-roz
Naaz uthana, naaz uthana, naaz uthana

ranjish hī sahī dil hī dukhāne ke liye aa
aa phir se mujhe chhoḌ ke jaane ke liye aa

dost-dār-e-dushman hai e'timād-e-dil ma.alūm
aah be-asar dekhī naala nā-rasā paayā

maiñ bhī ruk ruk ke na martā jo zabāñ ke badle
dashna ik tez sā hotā mire ġham-ḳhvār ke paas

andāz-e-bayāñ garche bahut shoḳh nahīñ hai
shāyad ki utar jaa.e tire dil meñ mirī baat

ab to ye aarzū hai ki vo zaḳhm khā.iye
tā-zindagī ye dil na koī aarzū kare
