Mirza Ghalib

Aa ki meri jaan men qaraar nahin hai
.
Taqat-e-bedaad-e-intazaar nahin hai
.
Dete hain janat hayaat-e-dahar ke badale
.
Nashsha ba'andaza-e-Khumar nahin hai
.
Giriya nikale hai teri bazm se mujh ko
.
Haaye! ki rone pe iKhtiyaar nahin hai
.
Ham se abas hai gumaan-e-ranjish-e-Khaatir
.
Khaak men ushshaq ki Gubaar nahin hai
.
Dil se uTha lutf-e-jalva haaye ma'ani
.
Gair-e-gul aaina-e-bahaar nahin hai
.
Qatl ka mere kiya hai ahad to baare
.
Waaye! agar ahad ustavar nahin hai
.
Tu ne qasam mai'kashi ki khaai hai Ghalib
.
Teri qasam ka kuch aitabar nahin hai
