Hawas ko hai nishat e kar kya kya,

Hawas ko hai nishat e kar kya kya,
Na ho marna to jeene ka maza kya

Tajahul paishgi se muddua kya,
Kahan tak aye sarapa naz kya kya

Nwazish haye be ja daikhta hun,
Shikayat haye rangeen ka gila kya

Nigah e be muhaba chahta hun,
Taghaful haye tamkeen azmaan kya

Farogh e shola e khas yak nafas hai,
Hawas ko pas e namoos e wafa kya

Nafas mauj e muheet e baikhudi hai,
Taghaful haye saqi ka gila kya

Dimagh e etr e pairahan nahi hai,
Gham e awargi haye saba kya

Dil her qatrah hai saz e 'ana al baher',
Hum uske hain hamara poochna kya

Muhaba kya hai, main zamin, idhar daikh,
Sheedan e nigah ka khoon baha kya

Sun aye gharatgar e jins e wafa, sun,
Shikast e qeemat e dil ki sada kya

Kiya kis ne jigardari ka dawa,
Shakeeb e khatir e ashiq bhala kaya

Ye qatil, wada e sabr azman kyon,
Ye kafir fitna e taqat ruba kya

Bala e jaan hai, Ghalib us ki her bat
Ibaarat kya, ishaarat kya, ada kya !!

Poet : Mirza Ghalib
