Madrasa Ya dair Tha Ya Kaba Ya But-Khana Tha

Khwaja Meer Dard

madrasa ya dair tha ya kaaba ya but-khana tha

ham sabhi mehman the vaan tu hi sahab-khana tha

vaae nadani ki vaqt-e-marg ye sabit hua

khvab tha jo kuchh ki dekha jo suna afsana tha

haif! kahte hain hua gulzar taraj-e-khizan

ashna apna bhi vaan ik sabza-e-begana tha

ho gaya mehman-sara-e-kasrat-e-mauhum aah

vo dil-e-khali ki tera khaas khalvat-khana tha

bhuul ja khush rah abas ve sabiaqe mat yaad kar

‘dard’! ye mazkur kya hai ashna tha ya na tha
