hisaar-e-maqtal-e-jaan men lahuu lahuu main thaa - Alam Tab Tashna

hisaar-e-maqtal-e-jaan men lahuu lahuu main thaa

rasan rasan merii vahashat guluu guluu main thaa

jo rah gayaa nigah-e-sozan-e-mashiyat se

qabaa-e-ziist kaa vo chaak-e-berafuu main thaa

zamaanaa hansataa rahaa merii khud-kalaamii par

tere khayaal men masaruuf-e-guftaguu main thaa

tuu apanii zaat ke har pech-o-kham se puuchh ke dekh

dar-ba-dar merii dastak thii kuu-ba-kuu main thaa

mere raqiibon men kab thii ye hausalaamandii

navard-e-ishq men khud apane ruu-ba-ruu main thaa

ma'aal-e-umr-e-muhabbat hai bas yahii "tashna"

merii talaash thaa vo usakii justajuu main thaa
