dam-e-subah bazm-e-khush jahaan - Meer Taqi Meer

dam-e-subah bazm-e-khush jahaan shab-e-gam se kam na thii meharabaan

ki chiraag thaa so to duud thaa jo patang thaa so gubaar thaa

dil-e-khastaa jo lahuu ho gayaa to bhalaa huaa ki kahaan talak

kabhii soz-e-siinaa se daag thaa kabhuu dard-o-gam se figaar thaa

dil-e-muzatarib se guzar gaii shab-e-wasl apanii hii fikr men

na dimaag thaa na faraag thaa na shakeb thaa na qaraar thaa

ye tumhaarii in dinon dostaan mizhgaan jis ke gam men hai khuun-chakaan

wahii aafat-e-dil-e-aashiqaan kisu waqt hamase bhii yaar thaa

kabhuu jaayegii udhar sabaa to ye kahiyo us se ki bewafaa

magar ek "Meer"-e-shikastaa-paa tere baag-e-taazaa men khaar thaa
