Nasir Kazmi's ghazal: Tuu bhi dil se utar na jaaye kahiiN...


Nasir Kazmi [1925-1972] was born in Ambala in British India in 1925. Kazmi was influenced by Mir Taqi Mir. 

Over the years his literary standing has increased and critics now rank him alongside the all time great poets of Urdu. He passed away in Pakistan in 1972.

Read his ghazal:

नियत-ए-शौक़ भर ना जाये कहीं
तू भी दिल से उतर ना जाये कहीं

आज देखा है तुझ को देर के बाद
आज का दिन गुज़र ना जाये कहीं

न मिला कर उदास लोगों से
हुस्न तेरा बिखर ना जाये कहीं

आरजू है कि तू यहाँ आये
और फिर उमर भर ना जाये कहीं

जी जलाता हूँ और सोचता हूँ
राएगां यह नहर ना जाये कहीं

आओ कुछ देर रो ही लें नासिर
फिर यह दरिया उतर ना जाये कहीं

नासिर काज़मी

niyat-e-shauq bhar na jaaye kahiiN
tuu bhii dil se utar na jaaye kahiiN

aaj dekhaa hai tujh ko der ke baad
aaj kaa din guzar na jaaye kahiiN

na milaa kar udaas logoN se
husn teraa bikhar na jaaye kahiiN

aarzuu hai ki tuu yahaan aaye
aur phir umar bhar na jaaye kahiiN

jii jalaataa huun aur sochtaa huun
raaegaaN yah nahar na jaaye kahiiN

aao kuchh der ro hii len naasir
phir yah daryaa utar na jaaye kahiin

Nasir Kazmi
