One Line Urdu Poetry
ترے بغیر یہ دل کہیں لگتا نہیں
Tere baghair ye dil kahin lagta nahin
محبت سچی ہو تو فاصلے مٹ جاتے ہیں
Mohabbat sachi ho to faasle mit jaate hain
آنکھ نم ہے مگر ہونٹوں پہ ہنسی ہے
Aankh nam hai magar honton pe hansi hai
تنہائی میں بھی تیری یاد میرے ساتھ ہے
Tanhai mein bhi teri yaad mere saath hai
وقت بدل جاتا ہے، یادیں نہیں بدلتیں
Waqt badal jaata hai, yaadein nahin badaltin

ٹوٹا ہوا دل بھی دھڑکنا نہیں بھولتا
Toota hua dil bhi dhadakna nahin bhoolta
چاندنی رات میں تیری کمی کھلتی ہے
Chandni raat mein teri kami khalti hai
ہم مسافر ہیں، یہ دنیا سرائے ہے
Hum musafir hain, ye duniya saraye hai
خوشی بانٹو تو بڑھتی ہے، غم بانٹو تو گھٹتا ہے
Khushi baanto to barhti hai, gham baanto to ghatta hai
صبر کر، ہر اندھیری رات کے بعد سویرا ہے
Sabr kar, har andheri raat ke baad sawera hai
