phunkaa hai kis ne gosh-e-mohabbat mein ai khudaa — Mirza Ghalib

phir usi bevafaa pe marte hain
phir vahi zindagi hamaari hai

umr bhar dekhaa kiye marne ki raah
mar gae par dekhiye dikhlaaein kyaa

saadgi o purkaari be-khudi o hushyaari
husn ko taghaaful mein jurat-aazmaa paayaa

girni thi ham pe barq-e-tajalli na tuur par
dete hain baada zarf-e-qadah-khvaar dekh kar

naakaami-e-nigaah hai barq-e-nazaaraa-soz
tu vo nahin ki tujh ko tamaashaa kare koi

marte hain aarzu mein marne ki
maut aati hai par nahin aati

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ye 'ishq laaegaa us moD par tujhe ek din
ghazal nahin tu miraa naam gungunaaegaa

ab is se baDh ke mohabbat kisi ko kyaa degi
kisi ki aankh kaa aansu kisi ki aankh mein hai

dard vahin zanjir vahin divaar vahin
'ishq se aakhir jhagDaa kyaa hai 'aali jaah

sazaa dete hain 'vaasif' sab ko vo jurm-e-mohabbat par
nahin mere liye koi sazaa ye hai sazaa meri
