Sach Bata Kahe Ka Paikan Ye Tere Tir Mein Tha

Poet

sach bata kaahe ka paikan ye tire tiir men tha

jo maza aur hi zaḳhm-e-dil-e-dil-gir men tha

aah is dil men ḳhuda jaane hua kya varna

nala-e-dil mira Duuba hua tasir men tha

us ki tarif karun main ne kahan paa.i zaban

ḳhubi-o-lutf jo kuchh yaar ki taqrir men tha

aah puuri abhi nikli hi na thi dil se ki yahan

dekhte kya hain ki rauzan falak-e-pir men tha

raat deta hi raha dil ko mire pech pe pech

bal jo vo shoḳh tiri zulf-e-girah-gir men tha

na diya ghusl isi vaste mujh ko pas-e-qatl

main nahaya hua ab-e-dam-e-shamshir men tha

kya bala shauq-e-shahadat tha ki tha hashr ka din

mujh ko vo arsa ki jo zab.h-o-takbir men tha

the kal ash.ar sune ham ne sabhon ke lekin

sab se andaz anokha ghazal-e-‘mir’ men tha

muzhda-e-vasl na pahuncha tha tujhe ‘aish’ to phir

kyuun ifaqa tire kal rang ki tagh.ir men tha
