kii vafaa hamase to gair use jafaa kahate hain - Mirza Ghalib

kii vafaa hamase to gair use jafaa kahate hain

hotii aaii hai ke achchhon ko buraa kahate hain

aaj ham apanii pareshaanii-e-khaatir un se

kahane jaate to hain, par dekhiye kyaa kahate hain

agale vaqton ke hain ye log, inhen kuchh na kaho

jo may-o-nagmen ko andoharuubaa kahate hain

dil men aa jaae hai, hotii hai jo fursat gash se

aur phir kaun se naale ko rasaa kahate hain?

hai par-e-sarahad-e-idaraak se apanaa masjuud

qible ko, ahal-e-nazar, qiblaanumaa kahate hain

paa-e-afagaar pe jab se tujhe raham aayaa hai

khaar-e-raah ko tere ham mehr-e-giyaa kahate hain

ik sharar dil men hai, us se koii ghabaraayegaa kyaa

aag mataluub hai hamako, jo havaa kahate hain

dekhiye laatii hai us shokh kii nakhvat kyaa rang

us kii har baat pe ham naam-e-khudaa kahate hain

vahashat-o-sheftaa ab marsiyaa kahaven shaayad

mar gayaa "ghalib"-e-aashuftaanavaa kahate hain
