Mir Taqi Mir (1723 - 1810 / Agra / India (Mughal Era))

dil se shauq-e-rukh-e-niko na gaya
jhankna takna kabhu na gaya

har qadam par thi us ki manzil lek
sar se sauda-e-justaju na gaya

sab gaye hosh-o-sabr-o-tab-o-tawan
lekin ai dag dil se tu na gaya

ham Khuda k Kabhi qayal to na the
un ko dekha to Khuda yad a gaya

dil mein kitne masaude the wale
ek pesh us k ru-ba-ru na gaya

subah gardan hi 'Mir' ham to rahe
dast-e-kotah ta sabu na gaya
