کہتے ہو نہ دیں گے ہم دل اگر پڑا پایا

 

Rone se aur ishq mein bebaak ho gaye

                         

kii vafaa hamase to Gair use jafaa kahate hain

ab ke junuuN meN chaak girebaaN na ho sakaa

ab ke junuuN meN chaak girebaaN na ho sakaa
kuchh ehtemaam-e-jashn-e-bahaaraaN na ho sakaa

raah-e-daraaz-e-umr, asiirii meN kaT gayii
 lekin dimaaGh aadii-e-zindaaN na ho sakaa

haq-beenii-e-nigaah ke qurbaaN jaaiye
khaashaak par gumaan-e-gulistaaN na ho sakaa

shukr-e-jafaa-e-yaar se fursat nahiN milii
dil waqf-e-shikwah-sanji-e-dauraaN na ho sakaa

halkii sii ek naqaab-e-tabassum paDii rahii
ruKh se mere ayaaN Gham-e-pinhaaN na ho sakaa

Milti hai khooai yaar se naar, ilteahb mein

 Milti hai khooai yaar se naar, ilteahb mein
Kafir hon ger na milti ho rahat azaab mein

Kab se hon, kaya btaon jahane khrab mein
Shab haai hijr ko bhi rakhon ger hisab mein

Ta phir na intezar mein neend aaye ta umr bher
Aane ka ahed ker gai, aye jo khuab mein

Qasid ke aate aate, khat ek aur likh rakhon 
Main janta hoon jo woh likhein gey jawab mein

Mujh tak kab un ki bazm mein aaya tha daure jaam
Saqi ne kuch mila na diya ho shrab mein

Jo munkire wafa ho, faraib us pe kaya chale
Kion badguman hon dost se dushman ke bab mein

Main muztarib hon wasl mein khaufe raqeeb se
Dala hai tum ko wahm ne kis paich-o-tab mein

Main aur haze wasle, khuda sa zabat hai
Jaan nazer daini bhool gaya izterab mein

Hai teuri chadi huie ander neqab ke
Hai ek shikan padi huie terfe neqab mein

Lakhon lgao eik churana nigah ka
Lakhon bnaao eikbigadna ataab mein

Woh nalah dil mein khas ke braber jagah na paai
Jis nale se shegaf pade aaftaab mein

Woh sahre muddua talabi mein na kam aai!
Jis sher se safeena rawan ho srab mein

Ghalib !chuti Shrab, per ab bhi kabhi kabhi
Peeta hon roze abro shabe mahtaab mein

Jahan tera naqshe qadam daikhte hain

 Jahan tera naqshe qadam daikhte hain
Khaiaban khaianban iram daikhte hain

Dile aasheftgan, khale kunje dahen ke
Soaida mein saire adam daikhte hain

Tere serwe qamat se ek qadde aadam
Qyamat ke fitne ko hum daikhte hain

Tamashah ki aimahwe aiena dari!
Tujhe kis tamanna se hum daikhte hain

Suraghe tafe nalah, le daghe dil se
Ki shab roka naqshe qadam daikhte hain

Bana ker faqeeron ka hum bhaisGhalib!
Tamashaye ahle karam daikhte hain

Waristah is se hain kih muhbbat hi kiyon na ho

Waristah is se hain kih muhbbat hi kiyon na ho
Kijiye hamare sath, adawet hi kiyon na ho

Choda na mujh mein zof ne rung ikhtelat ka
Hai dil pe baar nafshe muhbbat hi kiyon na ho

Hai mujh ko tujh se tazkirai ghair ka ghilah
Her chund ber sabeel shlkayat hi kiyon na ho

Paida huyee hai, kahte hain, her derd ki dawa
Yon ho, to charai ghame ulfat hi kiyon na ho

Dala na baikasi ne kisi se muamilah
Apne se kheenchta hon, khijalat hi kiyon na ho

Hai aadmi bajai khud ek mahshare khaiaal
Hum anjuman samajhte hain khilwat hi kiyon na ho

Hungamai zabooni himmat, hai anfaal 
Hasil na kijiye daher se, ibrat hi kiyon na ho

Waristagi bahanai baigangi nahin
Apne se ker nah ghair se wahshat hi kiyon na ho

Mitta hai faut fursate hasti ka ghum koi
Umre azeez serfe ibadat hi kiyon na ho

Is fitana kho ke der se ab uthte nahin Asad!
Is mein hamare ser pe qayamat hi kiyon nahin

Ghar jab bana liya tere dar par kahe baghair,

Ghar jab bana liya tere dar par kahe baghair,
Janega ab tu bhi mera ghar, kahe baghair !

Kehte hain jab rahi na mujhe taqat e sukhan,
Jaanu kisi ke dil ki main kyon kar kahe baghair !

Kaam us se aa para hai ke jis ka jahan mein naam,
Leway na koi naam sitamgar kahe baghair !

Ji mein hi kuch nahi hai hamare wagarna hum,
Sar jaye ya rahe, na rahein par kahe baghair !

Chhoronga main na us but e kaafir ka poojna,
Chhoray na khalq go mujhe kaafir kahe baghair !

Behra hun to chahiye douna ho iltefaat,
Sunta nahi hun baat mukarrar kahe baghair !

Ghalib na kar huzoor mein tu bar bar arz,
Zaahir hai tera haal sab un par kahe baghair !!

Dard ho dil mei to dawa kijiye,

Dard ho dil mei to dawa kijiye,
Dil hi jab dard ho to kia kijiye,

Hum ko fariyad karni ati hai,
Aap sunte nahi to kia kijiye,

Muat ati nahi kaheen Ghalib,
Kab tak afsoos zeest ka kijiye !

Bazm e Shahenshah mein, asha'ar ka daftar khula

Bazm e Shahenshah mein, asha'ar ka daftar khula
Rakhiyo ya rab! ye dar e ganjeena e gauhar khula

Shab hoi, phir anjum e rakhshindah ka manzar khula
Is takalluf se ke goya butkaday ka dar khula

Garche hun deewana, par kiyon dost ka khaon faraib
Aastin mein dashnah pinhan, haath mein nashtar khula

Go na samjhon uski batein, go na paon uska bhaid
Par yeh kya kam hai ki, mujh se woh pari paikar khula

Hai khayale husn mein husne amal ka sa khayal
Khuld ka ek dar hai meri gore ke ander khula

Munh na khulnai par hai woh aalam ki dakha hi nahin
Zulf se badkar niqab us shokh ke munh par khula

Dar pe rahne ko kaha aur keh ke kaisa phir gaya
Jitne arse mein mera lipta hua bistar khula

Kiyon andhaire hai shabe gam? hai kiyon balaon ka nuzool
Aai udher hi ko rahey ga deedai akhter khula

Kaya rahon gurbat mein khush, jab hua hwadis ka ye hal
Namah lata hai, watan se, namah bar aksar khula

Uski ummat mein hon main, maire rahain kiyon kam band
Waste jis shahei ke, Ghalib! gunbad e bai dar khula

Juz qais aur koi na aaya be ru'ye kaar,

Juz qais aur koi na aaya be ru'ye kaar,
Sehra magar bah tangiy e chashm e husood tha

Aashuftagi ne naqsh e suwaida kiya durust,
Zaahir hua ke daagh ka sarmaya dood tha

Tha khuaab mein khayal ko tujh se muamila,
Jab aankh khul gai, na zaiyan tha na sood tha

Laita hon maktab e gham e dil mein sabaq, hunooz,
Lekin yehi ke raft, gaya aur bood tha

Dhaanpa kafan ne dagh e uyoob e barhangi,
Main, warna har libas mein nang e wujood tha

Teeshe bagair, mar na sako kohkan, Asad!
Sargashta e khumar e rusoom o quyood tha !!

Jab be taqreeb e safar yar ne mehmil bandha,

Jab be taqreeb e safar yar ne mehmil bandha,
Tapish e shuaq ne har zarre pe ek dil bandha !

Ehl e beenish ne be herat kada e shukhi e naz,
Johar e aaina ko tooti e bismil bandha !

Yas o ummeed ne yak arbadah maida'n manga,
Ijz e himmat ne tilsim e dil e saail bandha !

Na bandhe tashnagi e zuaq ke mazmoon Ghalib!
Garche dil khol ke darya ko bhi saahil bandha

Shumaar e subha marghoob e but e mushkil pasand aya,

Shumaar e subha marghoob e but e mushkil pasand aya,
Tamasha e be yak kaf burdan e sad e dil pasand aya !

Be faiz e be dili numeedi e jaaved aasan hai,
Kusha'ish ko hamara uqda e mushkil pasand aya !

Hawa e sair e gul aaina e be muhri e qaatil,
Ke andaze be khuon ghalteedan e bismil pasand aya ! 

dil mera soz-e-nihan se bemuhaba jal gaya

dil mera soz-e-nihan se bemuhaba jal gaya
 atish-e-khamosh k manind goya jal gaya

dil mein zauq-e-wasl-o-yad-e-yar tak baki nahi
 ag is ghar mein lagi aisi k jo tha jal gaya

main adam se bhi pare hun warna gafil! barha
 meri ah-e-atshin se bal-e-anqa jal gaya

arz kije jauhar-e-andesha ki garmi kahan
 kuch khayal aya tha wehshat ka k sehra jal gaya

dil nahi, tujh ko dikhta warna dagon ki bahar
 is charagan ka, karun kya, karfarma jal gaya

main hun aur afsurdagi ki arazu "Ghalib"! k dil
 dekh kar tarz-e-tapak-e-ahl-e-duniya jal gaya

Kehtay Ho: "Na Den Ge Hum, Dil Agar Para Paaya"

Kehtay Ho: "Na Den Ge Hum, Dil Agar Para Paaya"
Dil Kahaan Ke Gum Keejay, Hum Ne Muddua Paaya

Ishq Se Tabiyat Ne Zeest Ka Maza Paaya
Dard Ki Dawa Paayi, Dard Be-Dawa Paaya

Dost Daar E Dushman Hai, Aitmaad E Dil Maaloom
Aah Be-Asar Dekhi, Naala Narasa Paaya

Saadgi O Purkaari, Be-Khoodi O Hushyaari
Husn Ko Taghaaful Mein Jurrat Aazma Paaya

Ghuncha Phir Laga Khilnay, Aaj Hum Ne Apna Dil
Khoon Kiya Hua Dekha, Gum Kiya Hua Paaya

Haal E Dil Nahin Maaloom, Lekin Is Qadar Yaani
Hum Ne Baarha Dhoonda, Tum Ne Baarha Paaya

Shor E Pand E Naasah Ne Zakhm Par Namak Chhirka
Aap Se Koi Poochhay: Tum Ne Kya Maza Paaya
