Har Ibtida se Pehle

Har ibtidaa se pehle har inteha ke baad,
Zaat-e-Nabi buland hai, zaat-e-Khuda ke baad,

Duniya main Ehtraam ke qaabil hain jitne log,
Main sab ko maanta hoon magar mustafa ke baad,

Qatal-e-Hussain assal main marg-e-yazeed hai,
Islam zinda hota hai har karbala ke baad..

Koi Umeed Bar Nahi Aati

Koi ummeed bar nahi aati,
Koi soorat nazar nahi aati.

Maut ka ek din muayyan hai,
Neend kyon raat bhar nahi aati.

Aage aati thi haal-e-dil pe hasi,
Ab kisi baat pe nahi aati.

Jaanta hoon sawab-e-taqseer bohat hai,
Magar ik baat hai, keh nahi aati.

Kaun jaaye Zauq par Dilli ki galiyan chhod kar?
Yeh dil voh shahr-e-hawas nahi aati.

Dastan-e-Gham-e-dil unko sunaayi nahi jaati,
Kya kahen aap se dil lagayi nahi jaati.

Mirza Ghalib ki ghazalon ka asar dekha,
Koi cheez samajh mein aayi nahi aati.

Mirza Ghalib

"Daastan-e-Junoon" (Tale of Passion)

Dil ki dehleez pe ek roshni liye Bismil
ban gayi aankhon ki chaabi liye

Jhilmilati raaton mein khwabon ki basti
Surkhi mein chamakti hui khushboo ki masti

Yaadon ki basti mein phoolon ki phooliyaan
Dil ki zindaani se azaadi ki joliyaan

Aao tanhaai ke taaron se banaayein taarein
Aag mein zindagi ke bijliyaan bajaayein taarein

Dil ko chhoo lein har rah mein khwabon ki talab
Roshan karein dil ko tamannao ki shama jab

Ek sapnon ki nigaah se banaayein chashme
Yaadon ka safar karein dil ke deewaron mein

Aao roshan karein dil ke andhere ko
Tanhaai ke deewaron ko gulon se bhar do

Dil ko loot lein tamannao ki goliyaan
Rang bhari duniya mein udaasi ki phooliyaan

Bas ek khwaab mein sab mita doongi doori
Har ghumki mein basti kar doongi bahaari

Aao jeeo chheeso ki tarah lamhon ka lutf
Dastane bina do aur kuchh na karenge watan

Soch ki tawajah se sach ki khushboo aaye
Lamhon ki taraf dil behak ke meri aaye

Yaadon ki mastiyon mein khwabon ka jaadu
Dil ko lehriyon mein behkaayein aawaz ki masti

Wo Shakhs Aadmi hi Nahi

Tajalliyon ka naya daayra banaane mein,

Mere chiraag lage hain hawa banaane mein, 

Ade the zid pe ke suraj banaake chhodenge, 

Paseene chhoot gaye ek diya banaane mein,

Meri nigaah mein wo shakhs aadmi bhi nahi,

Jise laga hai zamaana khuda banaane mein, 

Abhi inhein na pareshaan karo masihaaon,

Mareez uljhe hue hain dawa banaane mein,

Tamaam umr mujhe dar-ba-dar jo karte rahe,

Lage hue hain mera maqbara banaane mein,

Ye chand log jo basti mein sabse achhe hain,

Inhi ka haath hai mujhko bura banaane mein.
