Meer Taqi Meer
ab ke bhi sair baagh ki ji men havas rahi
apni jagah bahar men kunj-e-qafas rahi
main pa-shikasta ja na saka qafile talak
aati agarche der sada-e-jaras rahi
lutf qaba-e-tang pe gul ka baja hai naaz
dekhi nahin hai un ne tiri choli chus rahi
din-rat meri ankhon se aansu chale gae
barsat ab ke shahr men saare baras rahi
khali shaguftagi se jarahat nahin koi
har zakhm yaan hai jaise kali ho box rahi
divangi kahan ki gareban se tang huun
gardan miri hai tauq men goya ki phans rahi
jon subh is chaman men na ham khul ke hans sake
fursat rahi jo ‘mir’ bhi so yak-nafas rahi
