Mirza Ghalib Poetry
Aaina kyon na dun ki tamaasha kahen jise,
aisa kahan se laaun ki tujh sa kahen jise.
Hasrat ne laa rakha teri bazm-e-khyaal mein,
guldasta-e-nigaah suwaida kahen jise.
Phoonka hai kis ne gosh-e-mohabbat mein aey khuda,
afsoon-e-intezaar-e-tamanna kahen jise.
Sar par hujoom-e-dard-e-ghareebi se daaliye,
woh ek musht-e-khaak ki sehra kahen jise.
Hai chashm-e-tar mein hasarat-e-deedaar se nihaan,
shauq-e-inaan gusekhta dariya kahen jise.
Darkaar hai shiguftan-e-gul haaye aish ko,
subh-e-bahaar pumba-e-meena kahen jise.
‘Ghalib’ bura na maan jo waaiz bura kahe,
aisa bhi koi hai ki sab achchha kahen jise.
Yaa rab humen toh khwaab mein bhi mat dikhaaiyo,
ye mahshar-e-khyaal ki duniya kahen jise. !!
