Ahl-E-Dil Milte Nahin Ahl-E-Nazar Milte Nahin

Zaheer Kashmiri

ahl-e-dil milte nahin ahl-e-nazar milte nahin

zulmat-e-dauran men ḳhurshid-e-sahr milte nahin

manzilon ki justuju ka tazkira be-sud hai

DhunDne niklo to ab apne hi ghar milte nahin

aadmi TukḌon ki surat men hua hai muntashir

vahdat-e-fikr-o-nazar vaale bashar milte nahin

raste raushan hain asar-e-safar ma.adum hain

bastiyan maujud hain divar-o-dar milte nahin

zauq-e-nazzara dilon men dafn ho kar rah gaya

aankh valon men bhi ab ahl-e-nazar milte nahin

baḌh ga.e hain is qadar qalb o nazar ke fasle

saath ho kar ham-safar se ham-safar milte nahin

zehn ki chaTyal zamin se aanch aati hai ‘zahir’

ab yahan ehsas ke rangin shajar milte nahin
