Aaiinaa kyun na dun ke tamaashaa kahen jise

aaiinaa kyun na dun ke tamaashaa kahen jise
aisa kahan se laun ke tujhsaa kahen jise

hasarat ne laa rakhaa teri bazm-e-khayaal men
guldastaa-e-nigaah suvedaa kahen jise

phuunkaa hai kisne goshe muhabbat men ai Khudaa
afasuun-e-intazaar tamannaa kahen jise

sar par hujuum-e-dard-e-Gariibii se Daliye
vo ek musht-e-Khaak ke saharaa kahen jise

hai chashm-e-tar men hasarat-e-diidaar se nihaan
shauq-e-inaan guseKhtaa dariyaa kahen jise

darakaar hai shiguftan-e-gul haaye aish ko
sub_h-e-bahaar panbaa-e-miinaa kahen jise

"Ghalib" buraa na maan jo vaaiz buraa kahe
aisaa bhii koi hai ke sab achchhaa kahen jise

- Mirza Ghalib
