mataa-e-dil bahut arzaan hai kyuun nahin lete — Shah Naseer

juun mauj haath maariye kyaa bahr-e-ishq mein
saahil 'nasir' duur hai aur dam nahin rahaa

gale mein tu ne vahaan motiyon kaa pahnaa haar
yahaan pe ashk-e-musalsal gale kaa haar rahaa

aataa hai to aa vaada-faraamosh vagarna
har roz kaa ye lait-o-laal jaae to achchhaa

mere naale ke na kyuun ho charkh-e-akhzar zer-e-paa
khutba khvaan-e-ishq hai rakhtaa hai mimbar zer-e-paa

mushkil hai rok aah-e-dil-e-daaghdaar ki
kahte hain sau sunaar ki aur ik luhaar ki

tire hi naam ki simran hai mujh ko aur tasbih
tu hi hai vird har ik subh-o-shaam aashiq kaa

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

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

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi
