tuu dost kisii kaa bhii sitamgar na huaa thaa - Mirza Ghalib

tuu dost kisii kaa bhii sitamgar na huaa thaa

auron pe hai vo zulm ki mujh par na huaa thaa

chhodaa mah-e-nakhshab kii tarah dast-e-qazaa ne

khurshiid hanoz us ke baraabar na huaa thaa

taufiiq ba andaaz-e-himmat hai azal se

aankhon men hai vo qataraa ki gauhar na huaa thaa

jab tak kii na dekhaa thaa qad-e-yaar kaa aalam

main motaqid-e-fitanaa-e-mahashar na huaa thaa

main saadaa dil aazurdagi-e-yaar se khush huun

yaanii sabaq-e-shauq mukarrar na huaa thaa

dariyaa-e-maaasii tunuk abhii se huaa khushk

meraa sar-e-daaman bhii abhii tar na huaa thaa

jaarii thii asad daag-e-jigar se mere tahasiil

aatashqadaa jaagiir-e-samandar na huaa thaa
