Meer Taqi Meer

Patta patta, boota boota, haal humara jaane hai,

Jaane na jaane gul hi na jaane, baagh to saara jaane hai.

Ibteeda-e-ishq hai rota hai kya,

Aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya.

Meer ke sheron mein jo dard hai,

Wo kisi aur ke kalam mein kahan.

Deedni hai shikastagi dil ki,

Kya imarat ghamon ne dhayi hai.

Mir sahib zamana naazuk hai,

Dono haathon se thamiye dil ko.

Baarish ki boondein jaise roti hain,

Uski yaad mein meri aankhein bhi waise hi roti hain.

Ishq ek bhaari patthar hai Meer,

Uth sake to uthao, warna chhod do.

Suno to sahi ye gham-e-dil ki dastan,

Phir na kahna ke bataya nahi humne.

Khuda ki basti mein kya kami thi Meer,

Magar humare naseeb mein sirf tanhayi thi.

Ashk aankh mein kab nahi aata,

Lahu aata hai jab nahi aata.

Rafta rafta sabhi chale gaye,

Ab hum hain aur humari tanhayi hai.

Dil ki barbadiyon ka gham na karo,

Ye imarat to ek din dhani hi thi.

Unke aane ki umeed par hi hum zinda hain Meer,

Warna is zindagi mein ab rakha kya hai.

Duniya ke sitam sah kar bhi hum khamosh rahe,

Kyuki dil mein wafa ka nasha abhi baaqi tha.

Bohot ajeeb silsila hai ye mohabbat ka,

Jise chaha usi ne sabse zyada rulaya.

Aey dil-e-nadaan tu rota kyun hai,

Mohabbat mein to aashiyane jalte hi hain.

Kahte hain ishq ek rog hai,

Jiski koi dawa nahi, koi ilaj nahi.

Subah se shaam tak tera hi zikr rahta hai,

Jaise dil ko ab kisi aur ki parwah hi na ho.

Mere rone pe hasne walo suno,

Ek din tum bhi rooge meri hi tarah.

Mir ke sher to aashiqon ki zabaan hain,

Jo har toote hue dil ki sachi dastaan hain.
