Full Ghazal

Dhamki mein mar gaya jo nah babe naberd tha
Ishq naberd paishai talabgar merd tha

Tha zindagi mein marg ka khatka laga hua
Udne se paishtar bhi mera rung zard tha

Taleef nuskhaai wafa kar raha thamein
Majmuai khayal abhi fard fard tha

Dil ta jigar ki sahile daryae khon hai ab
Is rahguzar mein jalwai gul aage gird tha

Jati hai koi kash-makash andohe ishq ki
Dil bhi agar gaya, to wahi dil ka dard tha

Ahbab charah sazie wahshat na kar sake
Zindan mein bhi khayal byaban naward tha

Ye lashe be kafan Asad khastah jaan ki hai
Haq magfirat kare ! ajab Azad merd tha

shauq har rung raqeeb sar-o-saman nikla
qais tasweer ke pardey mein bhi uryan nikla

Zakham ne dad na di tngie dil ki ya rab!
Teer bhi seenai bismil se pur afshan nikla

Booye gul, nalai dil, doode chirage mahfil
Jo teri bazm se nikla so parishan nikla

Dile hasrat zadah tha maidai lazzat dared
Kam yaron ka baqadre lab-o-dandan nikla

Thi nau amooze fina, himmate dushwar pasand
Sakht mushkil hai ki, ye kam bhi asan nikla

Dil mein phir griye ne ek shore uthaya Ghalib
Aah! jo qatrah nah nikla tha, so toofan nikla

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

kaihtai ho, na dengay hum dil agar pada paya
Dil kahan gum kijie, hum nai muddua paya

Ishq se tabiat nai zeest ka maza paya
Dard ki dawa paye, dard bai dawa paya

Doustdare dushman hai, aitemade dil maloom
Aah be asar daikhi, nalah nar sa paya

Sadgi-o- purkari, baikhudi-o-hushaiari
Husn ko tagaful mein, jurat azma paya

Guncha phir laga khilne, aaj hum nai apna dil
Khun kiya hua daikha, gum kiya hua paya

Hale dil nahin maloom laikin is qadar maloom
Hum ne barha dhondha tum ne barha paya

Shore pande naseh ne zakham par namak chidka
Aap se koi pooche, tum ne kaya maza pay

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
