Hazaro khwaishe aissi, ki har khwaish pe dum nikle



Hazaro khwaishe aissi, ki har khwaish pe dum nikle

Bahot nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kum nikle


Nikalna khuld se aadam ka sunte aaye hei leikin

Bahut be-aabru ho kar tere kucche se hum nikle


Mohabbat mei nahi hei fark jeene aur marne ka

Ussi ko dekh kar jeete hei jiss kaafir par dum nikle


Khuda ke waaste parda na kaabe se utha zaalim

Kanhi aissa na ho yanha bhi vahi kaafir sanam nikle


Kanha maykhane ka darwaza 'Ghalib' aur kanha wayiz

Par itna jaante hei ki kal vo jaata tha ki hum nikle


By Mirza Ghalib
