dil se shauq-e-rukh-e-niko na gayaa - Meer Taqi Meer

dil se shauq-e-rukh-e-niko na gayaa

jhankanaa taakanaa kabhu na gayaa

har qadam par thii us kii manzil lek

sar se saudaa-e-justajuu na gayaa

sab gaye hosh-o-sabr-o-taab-o-tavaan

lekin ai daag dil se tu na gayaa

ham khudaa ke kabhii qaayal to na the

un ko dekhaa to khudaa yaad aa gayaa

dil men kitane masaude the vale

ek pesh us ke ruu-ba-ruu na gayaa

subaah gardaan hii 'Meer' ham to rahe

dast-e-kotaah taa sabuu na gayaa
