Mere Liye Tera Hona Aham Ziyaada Hai

Ahmad Ata

mire liye tira hona aham ziyada hai

ye baaqi zikr-e-vajud-o-adam ziyada hai

vo khali-pan hai kahin kuchh kashish nahin hai mujhe

koi khushi hai bahut aur na gham ziyada hai

tire baghair zarurat hi kiya padi hai mujhe

tire baghair ye dam hai so dam ziyada hai

ye meri aankh hai yaan khvab kaise thahrenge

ki sim-khurda zamin hai jo nam ziyada hai

mira ye dil ki jise koi pech-o-tab nahin

tiri ye zulf jise pech-o-kham ziyada hai

tu khuub janta hai yar-e-be-niyaz ki ab

junun bahut hai mujhe phir bhi kam ziyada hai
