Bas ki dushwar hai har kam ka aasan hona – Mirza Ghalib
Bas ki dushwar hai har kam ka aasan hona
aadmi ko bhi mayassar nahi insan hona
giriya chahe hai kharabi mere kashane ke
dar-o-divar se tapake hai bayaban hona
wa-e-diwangi-e-shauq ke har dam mujh ko
aap jana udhar aur aap hi hairan hona
jalva azbas ke taqaza-e-nigah karta hai
jauhar-e-aina bhi chahe hai mizagan hona
ishrat-e-qatlgah-e-ahal-e-tamanna mat puch
id-e-nazzara hai shamashir ka uriyan hona
le gaye khak mein hum dag-e-tamanna-e-nishat
tu ho aur aap basadrang-e-gulista n hona
ishrat-e-para-e-dil, zakhm-e-tamannakhana
lazzat-e-rish-e-jigar garq-e-namakdan hona
ke mere qatl ke bad us ne jafa se tauba
haye us zodpasheman ka pasheman hona
haif us char girah kapade ke qismat ‘ghalib’
jis ke qismat mein ho aashiq ka gareban hona
