Analysis of ankhon mein ji mera hai idhar yar dekhna

Meer Taqi Meer 1723 (Agra) – 1810 (Lucknow, Oudh State)



ankhon mein ji mera hai idhar yar dekhna
ashiq ka apane akhri didar dekhna

kaisa chaman ke ham se asiron ko mana hai
chak-e-qafas se bag ki diwar dekhna

ankhen churaio na tuk abr-e-bahar se
meri taraf bhi didah-e-khunbar dekhna

ae ham-safar na able ko pahunche chashm-e-tar
laga hai mere paon mein a kar dekhna

hona na char chashm dik uss zulm-paishah se
hoshiyar zinhar khabardar dekhna

sayad dil hai dag-e-judai se rashk-e-bag
tujh ko bhi ho nasib ye gulzar dekhna

gar zamzama yahi hai koi din to hamsafar
is fasl hi mein ham ko giraftar dekhna

bul-bul hamare gul pe na gustakh kar nazar
ho jayega gale ka kahin har dekhna

shayad hamari khak se kuch ho bhi ae nasim
girbal kar ke kucha-e-dildar dekhna

us khush-nigah ke ishq se parhez kijio 'Mir'
jata hai leke ji hi ye azar dekhna
