masti ba-zauq-e-ghaflat-e-saaqi halaak hai — Mirza Ghalib
"masti ba-zauq-e-ghaflat-e-saaqi halaak hai mauj-e-sharaab yak-mizha-e-khvaab-naak hai juz zakhm-e-tegh-e-naaz nahin dil mein aarzu jeb-e-khayaal bhi tire haathon se chaak hai josh-e-junun se kuchh nazar aataa nahin 'asad' sahraa hamaari aankh mein yak-musht-e-khaak hai"
Urdu
مستی بہ ذوق غفلت ساقی ہلاک ہے موج شراب یک مژۂ خواب ناک ہے جز زخم تیغ ناز نہیں دل میں آرزو جیب خیال بھی ترے ہاتھوں سے چاک ہے جوش جنوں سے کچھ نظر آتا نہیں اسدؔ صحرا ہماری آنکھ میں یک مشت خاک ہے
