Mirza Ghalib Poetry
Zikr uss pari-wash ka aur phir bayaan apna,
ban gaya raqeeb aakhir tha jo raazdaan apna.
Mayy woh kyon bahut peete bazm-e-ghair mein yaa rab,
aaj hi hua manzoor un ko imtihaan apna.
Manzar ek bulandi par aur hum bana sakte,
arsh se udhar hota kaash ki makaan apna.
De woh jis qadar zillat hum hansi mein taalenge,
baare aashna nikla un ka paasbaan apna.
Dard-e-dil likhuN kab tak jaaun un ko dikhlaa dun,
ungliyaan figaar apni khaamaa khoon-chakaan apna.
Ghiste ghiste mit jaata aap ne abas badla,
nang-e-sajda se mere sang-e-aastaan apna.
Taa kare na gammaazi kar liya hai dushman ko,
dost ki shikaayat mein hum ne hum-zabaan apna.
Hum kahan ke daana the kis hunar mein yaktaa the,
besabab hua ‘ghalib’ dushman aasmaan apna. !!
