Mirza Ghalib
bala se hain jo ye pesh-e-nazar dar-o-divar
nigah-e-shauq ko hain bal-o-par dar-o-divar
vufur-e-ashk ne kashane ka kiya ye rang
ki ho gae mire divar-o-dar dar-o-divar
nahin hai saaya ki sun kar naved-e-maqdam-e-yar
gae hain chand qadam pesh-tar dar-o-divar
hui hai kis qadar arzani-e-mai-e-jalva
ki mast hai tire kuche men har dar-o-divar
jo hai tujhe sar-e-sauda-e-intizar to aa
ki hain dukan-e-mata-e-nazar dar-o-divar
hujum-e-girya ka saman kab kiya main ne
ki gir pade na mire paanv par dar-o-divar
vo aa raha mire ham-sae men to saae se
hue fida dar-o-divar par dar-o-divar
nazar men khatke hai bin tere ghar ki abadi
hamesha rote hain ham dekh kar dar-o-divar
na puchh be-khudi-e-aish-e-maqdam-e-sailab
ki nachte hain pade sar-ba-sar dar-o-divar
na kah kisi se ki ‘ghalib’ nahin zamane men
harif-e-raz-e-mohabbat magar dar-o-divar
