Hasti Apni Hubaib Ki Si Hai By Meer Taqi Meer

Mir Taqi Mir employs a mesmerizingly mystic, almost surrealitic imagery in these couplets:

"hasti apni hubab ki si hai

ye numaish sarab ki si hai

nazuki us k lab ki kya kahiye
pankhari ik gulab ki si hai

bar bar us k dar pe jata hun
halat ab iztirab ki si hai

main jo bola kaha k ye awaz
usi khana-kharab ki si hai

'Mir' un nim-baz ankhon main
sari masti sharab ki si hai

Bajaa Ke Aankh Mein Neendon Ke Silsilay Bhee Nahee

Shikast-e-Khwaab Ke Ab Mujh Mein Honslay Bhee Nahee

Nahee Nahee ! Ye Khabar Dushmanon Ne Di Hogi

Wo Aaye, Aa Ke Chalay Bhee Gaye ! Milay Bhee Nahee

Ye Kon Loog Andheron Ki Baat Kartay Hain ?

Abhee Tou Chaand Teri Yaad Ke Dhalay Bhee Nahee

Abhee Se Mere Raffugar Ke Haath Thaknay Lagay

Abhee Tou Chaak Mere Zakham Ke Silay Bhee Nahee

Khafaa Agarche Hamesha Howay Magar Ab Ke

Wo Barhami Hai Ke Hum Se Unhain Gilay Bhee Nahee
