Given below is a beautiful couplet by Mir Taqi Mir:
Dil ki viraani ka kya mazkur hai,
Yeh nagar sau martaba loota gaya.
Translation:
Why even mention the hearts deserted state,
This city has been looted a hundred times to date.

I came across this poem recently. It moves me to tears. I thought it was written by Gulzhar but I may be well be mistaken. Would somebody be able to confirm this for me. Kind regads, Naseem Ahista Chal Zindagi
Abhi kai karz chukana baaki hai.
Kuch dard mitana baaki hai, Kuch farz nibhana baaki hai.
Raftaar mein tere chalne se kuchh rooth gaye, Kuch chhut gaye.
Roothon ko manana baaki hai, Roton ko hasana baki hai.
Kuch hasraatein abhi adhuri hain,
Kuch kaam bhi aur zaruri hai.
Khwahishen jo ghut gayi is dil mein,
Unko dafnana baki hai.
Kuch rishte ban kar toot gaye, Kuch judte-judte chhut gaye.
Un tootte-chhutte rishton ke zakhmon ko mitana baki hai.
Tu aage chal main aata hoon, Kya chhod tujhe ji paunga ?
In saanson par haqq hai jinka, Unko samjhaana baaki hai.
Aahista chal zindagi,
Abhi kai karz chukana baki hai… Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2015 14:38:49 +0000 To: naseemmoolla@outlook.com
