bār-hā dekhī haiñ un kī ranjisheñ — Mirza Ghalib

Dil dhoondta hai phir wahi fursat-e-shab-o-roz
Naaz uthana, naaz uthana, naaz uthana

Hazaaron khwahishein aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle
Bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle

dost-dār-e-dushman hai e'timād-e-dil ma.alūm
aah be-asar dekhī naala nā-rasā paayā

maiñ bhī ruk ruk ke na martā jo zabāñ ke badle
dashna ik tez sā hotā mire ġham-ḳhvār ke paas

nazzāre ne bhī kaam kiyā vaañ naqāb kā
mastī se har nigah tire ruḳh par bikhar ga.ī

haiñ kavākib kuchh nazar aate haiñ kuchh
dete haiñ dhoka ye bāzīgar khulā
