har ek baat pe kahate ho tum ki - Mirza Ghalib

har ek baat pe kahate ho tum ki tuu kyaa hai

tumhiin kaho ke ye andaaz-e-guftaguu kyaa hai

na shole men ye karishmaa na barq men ye adaa

koii bataao ki vo shokh-e-tundakhuu kyaa hai

ye rashk hai ki vo hotaa hai hamasukhan hamase

vagarnaa khauf-e-badaamozii-e-ad kyaa hai

chipak rahaa hai badan par lahuu se pairaahan

hamaarii jeb ko an haajat-e-rafuu kyaa hai

jalaa hia jism jahaan dil bhii jal gayaa hogaa

kuredate ho jo ab raakh justajuu kyaa hai

ragon men daudate phirane ke ham nahiin qaayal

jab aankh hii se na tapakaa to phir lahuu kyaa hai

vo chiiz jisake liye hamako ho bahisht aziiz

sivaae baadaa-e-gulfaam-e-mushkabuu kyaa hai

piyuun sharaab agar khum bhii dekh luun do chaar

ye shiishaa-o-qadaah-o-kuuzaa-o-subuu kyaa hai

rahii na taaqat-e-guftaar aur agar ho bhii

to kis ummiid pe kahiye ke aarazuu kyaa hai

banaa hai shaah kaa musaahib, phire hai itaraataa

vagarnaa shahar men "ghalib" kii aabaruu kyaa hai
