Dil Jeetney Ki Khatir Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Dil jeetnet ki khatir kutch harna pade ga,
Hizyan ho junoon ho sab bantna pade ga,
Ehsas to dilao ke tum uske sath ho,
Kutch door uske sath tumhein bhagna pade ga.
Machlega wuh kabhi to kabhi rooth jaye ga,
Wuh bacpana kare ga use palna pade ga.
Bhookha hay wuh azal se na mit pai uski bhookh,
Yeh aag na bujhe gi ise tapna pade ga.
Mausam ki tarah uske badalte hue yeh rang,
Kaghaz pe apne dil ke tumhein chapna pade ga.
In sardiyon ki raton mein aaye gi tumko neend,
Jage ga wuh to sath tumhein jagna pade ga.
Tum chand aur sitaron mein dekho gi apni jeet,
Tan man ko kaj ada pe magar warna pade ga.
