a poem by Meer Taqi Meer…
na sochaa na samajhaa na siikhaa na jaanaa
mujhe aa gayaa Khud_ba_Khud dil lagaanaa
zaraa dekh kar apanaa jalwaa dikhaanaa
simaT kar yahii.n aa na jaaye zamaanaa
zubaa.N par lagii hai.n wafaao.n ki muhare.n
Khamoshii merii kah rahii hai fasaanaa
gulo.n tak lagaayii to aasaa.N hai lekin
hai dushwaar kaa.NTo.n se daaman bachaanaa
karo laakh tum maatam-e-naujavaanii
pa ‘mir’ ab nahii.n aayegaa woh zamaanaa
