yaar bin talkh zindaganii thii - Meer Taqi Meer

yaar bin talkh zindaganii thii

dostii muddaii-e-jaanii thii

sheb men faayadaa ta'mmul kaa

sochanaa tab thaa hab javaanii thii

mere qisse se sab kii niinden gaiin

kuchh ajab taur kii kahaanii thii

kuu-e-qaatil se bach ke nikalaa khizr

isii men us kii zindaganii thii

fitr par bhii thaa 'mir' ke ik rang

kafanii pahanii to zaafaraanii thii
