Dil mera soze nihan se bai muha jal gaya Diwan-e-Ghalib

Dil mera soze nihan se bai muha jal gaya
Atashe khamosh kai manind goya jal gaya

Dil mein zauqe wasle yar tak baqi nahin
Aag as ghar mein aisee lagi ki jo tha jal gaya

Mein adam se bhi parey hon’ warna gafil!barha
Meiri aah astin se bal anqa jal gaya

Arz kijiai jo har andaishah ki garmi kahan
Kuch khayal aya tha wahshat ka ki sahra jal gaya

Dil nahin tugh ko dikhata warnah dagon ki bahar
Is chiragan ka, karon kya, farma jal gaya

Mein hon aur afsurdagi ki arzo Ghalib! Ki dil
Daikh kar tarze tapake ahle dunia jal gaya

Diwan-e-Ghalib
