Apni Qismat Ka Sitara Sar-E-Mizhgan Dekha

Talib Baghpati

apni qismat ka sitara sar-e-mizhgan dekha

aaj ham ne asar-e-jazba-e-pinhan dekha

ab kise DhunD rahi hai nigah-e-naz bata

hasil-e-jaur mire zud-pasheman dekha

jo satata hai vahi dil men jagah paata hai

ye mohabbat men na.i tarz ka arman dekha

ab ye shikva hai vo pahli si ghaTa.en hi nahin

ham na kahte the na kar zulf-e-pareshan dekha

shikva asan tha ab us ki pashemani hai

kin nigahon se tumhen sar-ba-gareban dekha

apne marne ka nahin gham ye malal aata hai

kyuun zamane ne tumhen bal-e-pareshan dekha

raat aati hai to kha kar usi gesu ki qasam

ham ne ‘talib’ ka muqaddar shab-e-hijran dekha
