Mirza Ghalib

Chahiye achon ko jitana chahiye
.
Ye agar chahen to phir kya chahiye
.
Sohabat-e-rinda se wajib hai hazar
.
Ja-e-mai apane ko khencha chahiye
.
Chahane ko tere kya samajha tha dil
.
Bare ab is se bhi samajha chahiye
.
Chaak mat kar jeb be ayam-e-gul
.
Kuch udhar ka bhi ishara chahiye
.
Dosti ka parda hai beganagi
.
Munh chupana ham se chora chahiye
.
Dushmani men meri khoya Gair ko
.
Kis qadar dushman hai dekha chahiye
.
Apani rusvai men kya chalati hai sai
.
Yaar hi hangama aara chahiye
.
Munhasir marane pe ho jis ki umid
.
Na'umidi us ki dekha chahiye
.
Gaafil in mah tala'aton ke vaaste
.
Chahane wala bhi acha chahiye
.
Chahate hain Khubaruon ko Asad
.
Ap ki surat to dekha chahiye
