Full Ghazal

Juz qais aur koi na aaya barooai kar
Sahra magar bah tangiye chashme husood tha

Aashaftagi ne naqshe suaida kiya durust
Zahir hua ki, dag ka sarmaya door tha

Tha khuaab mein khayal ko tujh se muamila
Jab aankh khul gaie, na zaiya’n tha na sood tha

Laita hon maktabe game dil mein sabaq, hunooz
Laikin yahi ki “raft” gaya’ aur “bood” tah

Dhanpa kafan ne dage uyoobe barahnagi
Mein, warna har libas mein nanage wajood tha

Teeshe bagair, mar na saka kohan, Asad!
Sargashtai khumare rusoom-o-quood tha

Diwan-e-Ghalib

Naksh-e-faryadi hai kis ki shokhiy-e-tahreer ka
Kagazi hai pairahan har paikar-e-tasweer ka
Kaw kaw-e-sakht jane hai tanhaie na poochh
Subha karna Shaam ka, lana hai joowey Sheer ka
Jazbai be akhtiyar shauk daikha Chahiye
synai shamsheer se bahar hai dam shamsheer ka
Aagahi dame shunidan jis qadar chahisyy bichhaye
Muddua anqa hai apne aalame taqreer ka
Bas ki hoon Ghalib ! aseeri mein bhi aatash zair pa
Mooai aatash deedah, hai halqah mari zanjeer ka

Jarahat tohfa, almas armugan, dage jigar hadia
Mubarak bad, Asad! gamkhuare jaane dard mand aaya
