hazaaron khvaahishen aisii k - Mirza Ghalib

hazaaron khvaahishen aisii ki har khvaaish pe dam nikale

bahut nikale mere armaan lekin phir bhii kam nikale

dare kyuun meraa qaatil kyaa rahegaa usakii gardan par

vo khuun jo chashm-e-tar se umr bhar yuun dam-ba-dam nikale

nikalanaa khuld se aadam kaa sunate aaye hain lekin

bahut be-aabaruu hokar tere kuuche se ham nikale

bharam khul jaaye zaalim tere qaamat kii daraazii kaa

agar is turraa-e-purapech-o-kham kaa pech-o-kham nikale

magar likhavaaye koii usako khat to hamase likhavaaye

huii subah aur ghar se kaan par rakkhar qalam nikale

huii is daur men mansuub mujhase baadaa-ashaamii

phir aayaa vo zamaanaa jo jahaan se jaam-e-jam nikale

huii jinase tavaqqo khastagii kii daad paane kii

vo hamase bhii ziyaadaa khastaa-e-teg-e-sitam nikale

muhabbat men nahiin hai farq jiine aur marane kaa

usii ko dekh kar jiite hain jis kaafir pe dam nikale

zara kar jor siine par ki tiir-e-pursitam nikale

jo vo nikle to dil nikale jo dil nikale to dam nikale

khudaa ke vaaste pardaa na kaabe se uthaa zaalim

kahiin aisaa na ho yaan bhii vahii kaafir sanam nikale

kahaan maikhaane ka daravaazaa 'ghalib' aur kahaan vaaiz

par itanaa jaanate hain kal vo jaataa thaa ke ham nikale
