Is Daur Ke Asar Ka Jo Puchho Bayan Nahin

Poet

is daur ke asar ka jo puchho bayan nahin

hai kaun si zamin ki jahan asman nahin

is darja dilbaron se koi rasm-e-dilbari

dil haath par liye huun koi dil-sitan nahin

afsurda dil tha ab to hua gham se murda-dil

jiita huun dekhne men vale mujh men jaan nahin

adab sohbaton ka koi ham se siikh le

par kya karun ki talib-e-sohbat yahan nahin

dil jal ke bujh gaya hai kisi ne ḳhabar na li

ham soḳhta-dilon ka koi qadr-dan nahin

hai kal ki baat sab ke dilon men aziiz tha

par in dinon to ek bhi dil mehrban nahin

aisi hava bahi ki hai charon taraf fasad

juz saya-e-ḳhuda kahin dar-ul-aman nahin

aalam ki haigi nirḳh-e-ilahi se zindagi

tis par bhi dekhta huun ki bahuton ko naan nahin

‘hatim’ ḳhamosh lutf-e-suḳhan kuchh nahin raha

bakta abas phire hai koi nukta-dan nahin
