Dard Jab Se Dil-Nashin Hai Ishq Hai

Tauqeer Taqi

dard jab se dil-nashin hai ishq hai

is makan men kuchh nahin hai ishq hai

dekh dasht-e-yad ka e.ajaz dekh

main kahin huun tu kahin hai ishq hai

thak ke baiTha huun jo kunj-e-zat men

mehrban koi nahin hai ishq hai

jo azal se hijrati hain ashk hain

jo in ashkon men makin hai ishq hai

ai sarab-e-jabr-o-istibdad sun

ye jo pyason ka yaqin hai ishq hai

kal jahan divar hi divar thi

ab vahan dar hai jabin hai ishq hai

ḳhvab hi men dekh le tabir-e-ḳhvab

kaun aisa pesh-bin hai ishq hai

jite-ji dushvar kitna tha safar

ab na duniya hai na diin hai ishq hai

ranj-o-gham ki surma.i chadar ‘taqi’

jab se bala-e-zamin hai ishq hai
