milatii hai khuu-e-yaar se naar iltihaab men - Mirza Ghalib

milatii hai khuu-e-yaar se naar iltihaab men

kaafir huun gar na milatii ho raahat azaab men

kab se huun kyaa bataauun jahaan-e-kharaab men

shab haaye hijr ko bhii rakhuun gar hisaab men

taa phir na intazaar men niind aaye umr bhar

aane kaa ahad kar gaye aaye jo khwaab men

qaasid ke aate aate khat ik aur likh rakhuun

main jaanataa huun jo vo likhenge jawaab men

mujh tak kab un kii bazm men aataa thaa daur-e-jaam

saaqii ne kuchh milaa na diyaa ho sharaab men

jo munkir-e-vafaa ho fareb us pe kyaa chale

kyuun badagumaan huun dost se dushman ke baab men

main muztarib huun vasl men khauf-e-raqiib se

daalaa hai tum ko vahm ne kis pech-o-taab men

mai aur hizz-e-vasl, khudaasaaz baat hai

jaan nazr denii bhuul gayaa iztiraab men

hai tevarii chadii huii andar naqaab ke

hai ik shikan padii huii tarf-e-naqaab men

laakhon lagaav, ik churaanaa nigaah kaa

laakhon banaav, ik bigadanaa itaab men

vo naalaa dil men khas ke baraabar jagah na paaye

jis naale se shigaaf pade aafataab men

vo sehr muddaa talbii men na kaam aaye

jis sehr se safinaa ravaan ho saraab men

'ghalib' chutii sharaab, par ab bhii kabhii kabhii

piitaa huun roz-e-abr-o-shab-e-maahataab men
