dil se shauq-e-ruKH-e-niku na gaya
jhankna-takna kabhu na gaya

dil se ruKHsat hui koi KHwahish
girya kuchh be-sabab nahin aata

Mir Taqi Mir

dil mujhe us gali mein le ja kar
aur bhi KHak mein mila laya

Mir Taqi Mir

dil ki virani ka kya mazkur hai
ye nagar sau martaba luTa gaya

why even mention of the heart's deserted state
this city's been looted a hundred times to date

Mir Taqi Mir

dil ki yak qatra KHun nahin hai besh
ek aalam ke sar bala laya

Mir Taqi Mir

---

dikhai diye yun ki be-KHud kiya
hamein aap se bhi juda kar chale

Mir Taqi Mir

didani hai shikastagi dil ki
kya imarat ghamon ne Dhai hai

didani hai shikastagi dil ki
kya imarat ghamon ne Dhai hai

Mir Taqi Mir

dekh to dil ki jaan se uThta hai
ye dhuan sa kahan se uThta hai

see if it rises from the heart or from the soul it flows
does anybody know the source from where this smoke arose?
