Wo Jo Tumne Gham Diya Tha Mujhe Sazgar Hota

Poet

vo jo tum ne gham diya tha mujhe sazgar hota

agar itna aur hota ki vo ustuvar hota

tiri be-ruḳhi ke sadqe mujhe aa gaya hai jiina

na to ruThta na zalim mujhe gham se pyaar hota

shab-o-roz ke nazare ye karishme rang-o-bu ke

ye tilism toḌ deta agar iḳhtiyar hota

use vaqf-e-ḳhak kar ke kiya ḳhuub tu ne varna

ye vo zarra tha ki uThta to falak pe baar hota

kabhi ek baar bhi to mira tazkira chaman men

ba-zaban-e-gul na hota ba-zaban-e-ḳhar hota

lo suno ki ab zamana tumhen kah raha hai kya kuchh

yahi main jo arz karta tumhen nagavar hota

mire pas-e-zabt-e-gham ko na hua pasand varna

na mujhe qarar hota na tumhen qarar hota

are ‘nur’ kaun sunta tira uzr-e-be-gunahi

tu gunah bhi na karta to gunahgar hota
