Poet Name: Ahmad Shahryar

vo mar gaya sada-e-nauha-gar men kitni der hai ki saneha to ho chuka khabar men kitni der hai hamare shahr

diya nasib men nahin sitara bakht men nahin to kya sharar bhi vajud-e-sang-e-sakht men nahin miri baqa ka raaz hai

nae zamanon ki chaap to sar pe aa khadi thi miri samaat guzishta advar men padi thi udhar diye ka

guman ke liye nahin yaqin ke liye nahin ajiib rizq-e-khvab hai zamin ke liye nahin khayal jo qadam-kusha hai tere

duniya se har rishta toda khud se ru-gardani ki sirf tumhara dhyan rakha aur jiine men asani ki majnun aur

raz-e-darun-e-astin kashmakash-e-bayan men tha aag abhi nafas men thi shoala abhi zaban men tha vo jo kahin tha vo bhi

khush nahin aae bayaban miri virani ko ghar bada chahiye is be-sar-o-samani ko dhaal duun chashma-e-pur-harf ko aine men apni

yadon ki tajsim pe mehnat hoti hai bekari bharpur mashaqqat hoti hai aisa khali aur itna gunjan abad aine ko

inikas-e-tishnagi sahra bhi hai dariya bhi hai tar-ba-tar ye raushni sahra bhi hai dariya bhi hai aag par mera tasarruf

phail raha hai ye jo khali hone ka dar mujh men akhir-kar simat aaega mera bahar mujh men ro dunga
