bas k dushwar hai har kam ka asan hona

GHALIB
~~~~~


bas k dushwar hai har kam ka asan hona
admi ko bhi mayassar nahi insan hona

giriya chahe hai kharabi mere kashane ki
dar-o-diwar se tapak hai bayaban hona

wa-e-diwangi-e-shauq k har dam mujh ko
ap jana udhar aur ap hi hairan hona

jalwa azbas k 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 shamshir ka uriyan hona

le gaye khak mein ham dag-e-tamanna-e-nishat
tu ho aur ap basadrang-e-gulistan hona

ishrat-e-para-e-dil, zakhm-e-tamannakhana
lazzat-e-rish-e-jigar garq-e-namakdan hona

ki mere qatl k bad us ne jafa se tauba
haye us zodpasheman ka pasheman hona

haif us char girah kapre ki qismat 'ghalib'
jis ki qismat mein ho ashiq ka gareban hona
