Ai Meri Jaan-E-Arzu Mane-E-Iltifat Kya

Poet

ai miri jan-e-arzu mane-e-iltifat kya

hoga na vaqf-e-dil kabhi kaif-e-tabassumat kya

mast-e-nazar agar nahin saghar-e-dil men bada-rez

bazm-e-navazishat kya daur-e-tavajjohat kya

kab se hain rind muntazir chashm-e-karam pe hai nazar

shoḳh nigah ke liye vaj.h-e-takallufat kya

DhunDti phirti hai nazar shahid-e-bazm-e-naz ko

us ko magar ḳhabar nahin kaif-e-tasavvurat kya

husn-e-talab ye hai ki tu us se usi ko maang le

us ke siva hayat kya maqsad-e-ka.enat kya

apne hi dil ki bazm men us ka jamal dekhiye

dida-e-shauq ke liye aur harim-e-zat kya

shauq-o-talab se ‘taj’ ab alam-e-iztirab hai

ek zara se dil men ye shorish-e-ka.enat kya
