maze jahaan ke apanii nazar men khaak nahiin - Mirza Ghalib

maze jahaan ke apanii nazar men khaak nahiin

sivaay khuun-e-jigar, so jigar men khaak nahiin

magar gubaar hue par hava udaa le jaaye

vagarnaa taab-o-tavaan baal-o-par men khaak nahiin

ye kis bahiishtshamaail kii aamad-aamad hai

ke gair jalvaa-e-gul raahguzar men khaak nahiin

bhalaa use na sahii, kuchh mujhii ko raham aataa

asar mere nafas-e-beasar men khaak nahiin

khayaal-e-jalvaa-e-gul se kharaab hai maikash

sharaabkhaane ke diivar-o-dar men khaak nahiin

huaa huun ishq kii gaaratgarii se sharmindaa

sivaay hasrat-e-taamiir ghar men khaak nahiin

hamaare sher hain ab sirf dillagii ke 'asad'

khulaa ki faayedaa arz-e-hunar men khaak nahiin
