Poet: Ataullah Khan Isakhelvi

Today's poem is by request from a MeG member. This 
is from memory so I would appreciate it if someone 
can confirm the lyrics and send me corrections, if 
any.

I believe this was included as a song in a film titled 
Sanam Bewafaa, which was based on the life of Ataullah 
Khan Isakhelvi. The last part is hearsay so I could be
wrong.


achchhaa silaa diyaa tuune mere pyaar kaa
yaar ne hii luuT liyaa ghar yaar kaa

ashko.n kii maalaa mere gale pahanaa ke
Khush hai vo ghar kisii aur kaa basaa ke
kar diyaa Khuun dekho mere aitabaar kaa

aaj tere pyaar me.n zahar vo khaaye hai.n
ashko.n ke motii terii yaad me.n bahaaye hai.n
tuune kabhii sunaa nahii.n dard merii pukaar kaa

mere pyaar vaale sabhii phuul murjhaa gaye
kaa.NTe the jo vahaa.N mere hisse aa gaye
raas na aayaa mujhe sapnaa bahaar kaa
