taskiin ko ham na roen jo zauq-e-nazar mile - Mirza Ghalib

taskiin ko ham na roen jo zauq-e-nazar mile

huraan-e-khuld men terii suurat magar mile

apanii galii men mujh ko na kar dafn baad-e-qatl

mere pate se khalq ko kyon teraa ghar mile

saaqii garii kii sharm karo aaj varnaa ham

har shab piyaa hii karate hain mai jis qadar mile

tujh se to kuchh kalaam nahiin lekin ae nadiim

meraa salaam kahiiyo agar naamaabar mile

tum ko bhii ham dikhaaye ke majanuun ne kyaa kiyaa

fursat kashaakash-e-gam-e-pinhaan se gar mile

laazim nahiin ke khijr kii ham pairavii karen

maanaa ke ek buzurg hamen ham safar mile

ae saakanaan-e-kuchaa-e-dildaar dekhanaa

tum ko kahiin jo ghalib-e-aashuftaa sar mile
