Din Nikalta Hai to Saman-E-Safar DhunDte Hain

Jafar Shirazi

din nikalta hai to saman-e-safar DhunDte hain

raat paḌti hai to ham apni ḳhabar DhunDte hain

rabta kuchh to rahe ruuh ka patal ke saath

aaj ham bhi tiri ankhon men bhanvar DhunDte hain

koi ḳhushbu na yahan anjum-o-mahtab ki zau

in gharon se bahut aage hai jo ghar DhunDte hain

ishq se dad-talab hain ki ham avara-manash

dar men divar na divar men dar DhunDte hain

kyuun juda.i ke mah-o-sal men badle tu ne

aa mohabbat ke vahi sham-o-sahar DhunDte hain

vo jo ab sarhad-e-imkan se pare rahta hai

kab vo ‘ja.afar’ hamen milta hai magar DhunDte hain
