Yaad Hai Shadi Mein Bhi Hangama-e-ya-rab Mujhe
yaad hai shadi mein bhi hangama-e-ya-rab mujhe
subha-e-zahid hua hai KHanda zer-e-lab mujhe
hai kushad-e-KHatir-e-wa-basta dar rahn-e-suKHan
tha tilism-e-qufl-e-abjad KHana-e-maktab mujhe
ya rab is aashuftagi ki dad kis se chahiye
rashk aasaish pe hai zindaniyon ki ab mujhe
taba hai mushtaq-e-lazzat-ha-e-hasrat kya karun
aarzu se hai shikast-e-arzu matlab mujhe
dil laga kar aap bhi 'ghaalib' mujhi se ho gae
ishq se aate the mane mirza sahib mujhe
Mirza Ghalib
