Khwaja Mir Dard

chaman me.n subah ye kahatii thii ho kar chashm-e-tar shabanam
bahaar-e-baaG to yuu.N hii rahii lekin kidhar shabanam

arq kii buu.nd us kii zulf se ruKhasaar par Tapakii
taajjub kii hai jaage ye pa.Dii Khurshiid par shabnam

hame.n to baaG tujh bin Khaanaa-e-maatam nazar ayaa
idhar gul phaarate the jeb, rotii thii udhar shabanam

kare hai kuchh na kuchh taasiir sohabat saaf taabo.n kii
huii aatish se gul ke baiThate rashq-e-sharar shabnam

bhalaa tuk subah hone do ise bhii dekh leve.nge
kisii aashiq ke rone se nahii.n rakhati Khabar shabnam

nahii.n asbaab kuchh laazim subak saaro.n ke uThane ko
gaiii u.D dekhate apane baGair az baal-o-par shabnam

na paayaa jo gayaa is baaG se hargiz suraaG usakaa
na palTii phir sabaa idhar, na phir aaii nazar shabnam

na samajhaa Dard hamane bhed yaa.N kii shaadii-o-Gam kaa
sahar khandaan hai kyo.N rotii hai kis ko yaak kar shabanam
