koft se jaan lab par aaii hai - Meer Taqi Meer

koft se jaan lab par aaii hai

ham ne kyaa chot dil pe khaaii hai

likhate ruqaa, likh gae daftar

shauq ne baat kyaa badaaii hai

diidanii hai shikasgii dil kii

kyaa imaarat gamon ne dhaaii hai

hai tasannaa ke laal hain vo lab

yaani ik baat sii babaaii hai

dil se nazadiik aur itanaa duur

kis se usako aashnaaii hai

jis marz men ke jaan jaatii hai

dilabaron kii vo judaaii hai

yaan hue khaak se baraabar ham

vaan vahii naaz-e-khudnumaaii hai

marg-e-majanuun pe aql gum hai 'Meer'

kyaa diivaane ne maut paaii hai
