be-mehr kahte ho use jo bewafa nahin
be-mehr kahte ho use jo bevafā nahīñ
sach hai ki bevafā huuñ maiñ tum bevafā nahīñ
uqda jo dil meñ hai mire hone kā vā nahīñ
jab tak ki aap kholte zulf-e-dotā nahīñ
ayyārī dekhnā jo gale milne ko kaho
kahtā hai maiñ to tum se huā kuchh ḳhafā nahīñ
ashkoñ ke saath qatra-e-ḳhūñ thā nikal gayā
siine meñ se to dil ko koī le gayā nahīñ
jaltā hai sāda-lauhī pe kyā apnī jī mirā
dil le ke ab jo baat vo kartā zarā nahīñ
vo pur-ḳhatar hai vādi-e-ulfat ki raah meñ
kahte haiñ ḳhizr haa.e koī rahnumā nahīñ
kartā huuñ terī zulf se dil kā mubādala
har-chand jāntā huuñ ye saudā burā nahīñ
kaise vo talḳh-tar haiñ mire shor-e-ishq se
qismat se apnā chāhne meñ bhī mazā nahīñ
josh-e-junūñ meñ sar pe uḌā.eñ kahāñ se ḳhaak
dil kyā gayā ġhubār hī jī meñ rahā nahīñ
dekhūñ to le hai jaan malak-ul-maut kis tarah
tum vaqt-e-marg paas se uThnā zarā nahīñ
'taskīñ' ne naam le ke tirā vaqt-e-marg aah
kyā jaane kyā kahā thā kisī ne sunā nahīñ
be-mehr kahte ho use jo bewafa nahin
sach hai ki bewafa hun main tum bewafa nahin
uqda jo dil mein hai mere hone ka wa nahin
jab tak ki aap kholte zulf-e-dota nahin
ayyari dekhna jo gale milne ko kaho
kahta hai main to tum se hua kuchh KHafa nahin
ashkon ke sath qatra-e-KHun tha nikal gaya
sine mein se to dil ko koi le gaya nahin
jalta hai sada-lauhi pe kya apni ji mera
dil le ke ab jo baat wo karta zara nahin
wo pur-KHatar hai wadi-e-ulfat ki rah mein
kahte hain KHizr hae koi rahnuma nahin
karta hun teri zulf se dil ka mubaadala
har-chand jaanta hun ye sauda bura nahin
kaise wo talKH-tar hain mere shor-e-ishq se
qismat se apna chahne mein bhi maza nahin
josh-e-junun mein sar pe uDaen kahan se KHak
dil kya gaya ghubar hi ji mein raha nahin
dekhun to le hai jaan malak-ul-maut kis tarah
tum waqt-e-marg pas se uThna zara nahin
'taskin' ne nam le ke tera waqt-e-marg aah
kya jaane kya kaha tha kisi ne suna nahin
