Ghulam Rabbani Taban
shabab-e-husn hai barq-o-sharar ki manzil hai
ye azma.ish-e-qalb-o-nazar ki manzil hai
savad-e-shams-o-qamar bhi bashar ki manzil hai
abhi to parvarish-e-bal-o-par ki manzil hai
ye mai-kada hai kalisa o ḳhanqah nahin
uruj-e-fikr o farogh-e-nazar ki manzil hai
hamen to raas hi aa.i fughan ki be-asari
magar batao to koi asar ki manzil hai
vo rahbari-e-janab-e-ḳhizar ki manzil thi
ye rahnuma.i-e-fikr-e-bashar ki manzil hai
ye raaz pa na sake sahiban-e-hosh-o-ḳhirad
junun bhi ik nigah-e-parda-dar ki manzil hai
qayam shamil-e-mashq-e-ḳhiram hai ‘taban’
safar ka tark bhi goya safar ki manzil hai
