Mirza Ghalib
amad-e-khat se hua hai sard jo bazar-e-dost
dud-e-sham-e-kushta tha shayad khat-e-rukhsar-e-dost
ai dil-e-na-aqibat-andesh zabt-e-shauq kar
kaun la sakta hai tab-e-jalva-e-didar-e-dost
khana-viran-sazi-e-hairat tamasha kijiye
surat-e-naqsh-e-qadam huun rafta-e-raftar-e-dost
ishq men bedad-e-rashk-e-ghair ne maara mujhe
kushta-e-dushman huun akhir garche tha bimar-e-dost
chashm-e-ma raushan ki us bedard ka dil shaad hai
dida-e-pur-khun hamara saghar-e-sarshar-e-dost
ghair yuun karta hai meri pursish us ke hijr men
be-takalluf dost ho jaise koi gham-khvar-e-dost
taaki main janun ki hai us ki rasai vaan talak
mujh ko deta hai payam-e-vada-e-didar-e-dost
jab ki main karta huun apna shikva-e-zof-e-dimagh
sar kare hai vo hadis-e-zulf-e-ambar-bar-e-dost
chupke chupke mujh ko rote dekh paata hai agar
hans ke karta hai bayan-e-shokhi-e-guftar-e-dost
mehrbani-ha-e-dushman ki shikayat kijiye
ta bayan kiije sipas-e-lazzat-e-azar-e-dost
ye ghazal apni mujhe ji se pasand aati hai aap
hai radif-e-sher men ‘ghalib’ zi-bas takrar-e-dost
chashm-e-band-e-khalq juz timsal-e-khud-bini nahin
aina hai qalib-e-khisht-e-dar-o-divar-e-dost
barq-e-khirman-zar gauhar hai nigah-e-tez yaan
ashk ho jaate hain khushk az-garmi-e-raftar-e-dost
hai sava neze pe us ke qamat-e-nau-khez se
aftab-e-subh-e-mahshar hai gul-e-dastar-e-dost
ai adu-e-maslahat chand ba-zabt afsurda rah
kardani hai jama tab-e-shokhi-e-didar-e-dost
laghzishat-e-mastana o josh-e-tamasha hai ‘asad’
atish-e-mai se bahar-e-garmi-e-bazar-e-dost
