Poetry by Mirza Ghalib
Phir tere koche ko jata hai kheyal
Dil-e gham gushtah magar yaad aaya
Koyi weerani si weerani hai.
Dasht ko dekh k ghar yaad aaya
Main ne majno peh larakpan main Asad
Sangh uthaya tha keh sar yaad aaya.
Na tha to khoda tha na hota to khuda hota
Doboya mujhko hone ne na hota main to kia hota
hoa jab gham se yun behis to gham kia sar ke katne ka
na hota gar juda tan se to zanon par dhara hota
huyi muddat keh ghalib mar gia par yaad aata hai
woh har baat par kehna keh yun hota to kia hota
Ibn-e-mariym hua kare koi
Mere dukh ki dawa kare koi
Shura-o-ain par madaar sahi
Aise qatil ka kya kare koi
Chal jaise kadi kaman ka tir
Dil main aise k ja kare koi
Bat par wan zuban katti hai
Wo kahen aur suna kare koi
Bak raha hun junun main kya kya kuch
Kuch na samjhe Khuda kare koi
Na suno gar bura kahe koi
Na kaho gar bura kare koi
Rok lo gar galat chale koi
Bakhsh do gar khata kare koi
Kaun hai jo nahi hai hajatmand
Kiski hajat rawa kare koi
Kya kiya khijr ne sikandar se
Ab kise rahnuma kare koi
Jab tawaqqo hi uth gayi “Ghalib
Kyon kisi ka gila kare koi
