Meer Taqi Meer


jiite-jii kuuchaa-e-dildaar se jaayaa na gayaa
Meer Taqi Meer

jiite-jii kuuchaa-e-dildaar se jaayaa na gayaa
us kii diivaar kaa sar se mere saayaa na gayaa

dil ke taaii.n aatish-e-hijraa.N se bachaayaa na gayaa
ghar jalaa saamane par ham se bujhaayaa na gayaa

kyaa tunak hausalaa the diidaa-o-dil apane aah
ek dam raaz mohabbat kaa chhupaayaa na gayaa

dil jo diidaar kaa qaayel kii bahot bhuukaa thaa
is sitam-kushtaa se yak zaKhm bhii khaayaa na gayaa

[sitam-kushtaa=oppressed/tortured]

shahar-e-dil aah ajab jaaye thii par uske gaye
aisaa uja.Daa ki kisii tarah basaayaa na gayaa

[jaaye=place]
