Taqdir Ke Aage Kabhi Tadbir Kisi Ki

Talib Baghpati

taqdir ke aage kabhi tadbir kisi ki

chalti ho to samjhe koi taqsir kisi ki

ab ek tamanna ho to puuri koi kar de

yuun kaun badal sakta hai taqdir kisi ki

dil men utar aa.i hai nigahon se simaT kar

kis darja haya-kosh hai tasvir kisi ki

vo aa.en na aa.en mujhe niind aa nahin sakti

sunta hi nahin nala-e-shab-gir kisi ki

barsat ka ik ḳhvab hai mustaqbil-e-tarik

bikhri hui si zulf-e-girah-gir kisi ki

allah ye tarik faza.en ye ghaTa.en

ye barq-e-ḳhayalat men tasvir kisi ki

ankhen miri ankhen hain zahe joshish-e-girya

dhul dhul ke nikhar aa.i hai tasvir kisi ki

‘talib’ tire jazbat ki tashrih to kar duun

Dar hai kabhi ho jaa.e na tash.hir kisi ki
