taj-mahal

ḳhayāl-e-husn-o-mohabbat lihāz-e-ahd-e-vafā

dil-o-nazar ko jagā.e ki jaise sehr kiyā

ḳhabar nahīñ ki kahāñ Thahre zindagī kī adā

abhī to ek hī vahdat hai ishq kī be-kal

ye taaj hai ki mohabbat kī yādgār koī

ki ek TuuTe hue dil kā hai qarār koī

kare to merī tarah tujh se kaash pyaar koī

jalā.e jaate haiñ yuuñ bhī to zindagī ke kañval

zamīñ pe aaya huā nuur kā ye ik TukḌā

ba-shakl-e-tāj hai goyā ik aarzū kī fazā

ye naqsh-e-sabz-o-siyah surḳh marmarīñ a.azā

pahan ke baiThe koī jaise dūdhiyā malmal

pukārtā hai ye shahkār mujh ko daad to do

mire jamāl ke kasrat kī taab hai kis ko

mirī nazar kī ye taqdīs-e-arsh-o-farsh na ho

maiñ ek husn-e-nazar huuñ maiñ ek husn-e-azal

koī ho duur kisī se ki koī pahlū-nashīñ

magar ḳhayāl-o-gumāñ kī hudūd bhī to nahīñ

fanā hai āḳhirash har kār-e-āsmān-o-zamīñ

to phir hamesha rahegā ye kaise tāj-mahal

KHayal-e-husn-o-mohabbat lihaz-e-ahd-e-wafa

dil-o-nazar ko jagae ki jaise sehr kiya

KHabar nahin ki kahan Thahre zindagi ki ada

abhi to ek hi wahdat hai ishq ki be-kal

ye taj hai ki mohabbat ki yaadgar koi

ki ek TuTe hue dil ka hai qarar koi

kare to meri tarah tujh se kash pyar koi

jalae jate hain yun bhi to zindagi ke kanwal

zamin pe aaya hua nur ka ye ek TukDa

ba-shakl-e-taj hai goya ek aarzu ki faza

ye naqsh-e-sabz-o-siyah surKH marmarin aaza

pahan ke baiThe koi jaise dudhiya malmal

pukarta hai ye shahkar mujh ko dad to do

mere jamal ke kasrat ki tab hai kis ko

meri nazar ki ye taqdis-e-arsh-o-farsh na ho

main ek husn-e-nazar hun main ek husn-e-azal

koi ho dur kisi se ki koi pahlu-nashin

magar KHayal-o-guman ki hudud bhi to nahin

fana hai aaKHirash har kar-e-asman-o-zamin

to phir hamesha rahega ye kaise taj-mahal
