Meer Taqi Meer


hotii hai agarche kahane se yaaro.n paraaii baat
Meer Taqi Meer

hotii hai agarche kahane se yaaro.n paraaii baat
par ham se to thamii na kabhuu muu.Nh pe aaii baat

kahate the us se milate to kyaa-kyaa na kahate lek
vo aa gayaa to saamane us ke na aaii baat

bul-bul ke bolane me.n sab a.ndaaz hai.n mere
poshiidaa kyaa rahii hai kisu kii u.Daaii baat

[poshiidaa=hidden]

ik din kahaa thaa ye ke Khaamoshii me.n hai vaqaar
so mujh se hii suKhan nahii.n mai.n jo bataaii baat

[vaqaar=honor]

ab mujh zaif-o-zaar ko mat kuchh kahaa karo
jaatii nahii.n hai mujh se kisu kii uThaaii baat

[zaif-o-zaar=old and weak]
