saadagii par us kii mar jaane kii hasarat dil men hai - Mirza Ghalib

saadagii par us kii mar jaane kii hasarat dil men hai

bas nahiin chalataa ki phir khanjar kaf-e-qaatil men hai

dekhanaa taqariir kii lazzat ki jo usane kahaa

mainne yah jaanaa ki goyaa yah bhii mere dil men hai

garache hai kis kis buraaii se vale baa iin hamaa

zikr meraa mujh se behatar hai ki us mahafil men hai

bas hujuum-e-naa umiidii khaak men mil jaayagii

yah jo ik lazzat hamaarii sai-e-behaasil men hai

ranj-e-rah kyon khenchiye vaamaandagii ko ishq hai

uth nahiin sakataa hamaaraa jo qadam manzil men hai

jalvaa zaar-e-aatash-e-dozakh hamaaraa dil sahii

fitanaa-e-shor-e-qayaamat kis kii aab-o-gil men hai

hai dil-e-shoriidaa-e-gaalib tilism-e-pech-o-taab

raham kar apanii tamannaa par ki kis mushkil men hai
