غم نہیں ہوتا ہے آزادوں کو بیش از یک نفس — مرزا غالب

Gham nahin hota hai aazadon ko besh az yak nafas

Gham nahin hota hai aazadon ko besh az yak nafas
Barq se karte hain raushan sham'a-e-matam-khana hum
Mahfilein barham kare hai gunjafa-baaz-e-khayal
Hain waraq-gardani-e-nairang-e-yak but-khana hum
Bawajood-e-yak jahan hangama-e-paidai nahin
Hain chiraghan-e-shabistan-e-dil-e-parwana hum
Zaf se hai ne qana'at se ye tark-e-justajoo
Hain wabaal-e-takiya-gah-e-himmat-e-mardana hum
Da'im-ul-habs is mein hain lakhon tamannayein Asad
Jante hain seene pe khoon ko zindan-khana hum
Bas-ke hain bad-mast ba-shikan ba-shikan may-khana hum
Mo-e-shisha ko samajhte hain khat-e-paimane hum
Bas-ke har yak mo-e-zulf-e-afshan se hai taar-e-shu'a
Panja-e-khurshid ko samjhe hain dast-e-shanah hum
Mashq az khud-raftagi se hain ba-gulzar-e-khayal
Aashna-e-ta'bir-e-khwab-e-sabza-e-begana hum
Fart-e-be-khwabi se hain shab-ha-e-hijr-e-yaar mein
Jun zaban-e-sham'a dagh-e-garmi-e-afsana hum
Shaam-e-gham mein soz-e-ishq aatish-rukhsar se
Pur-fishan sokhtan hain surat-e-parwana hum
Hasrat-e-arz-e-tamanna yan se samjha chahiye
Do jahan hash-e-zaban-e-khushk hain jun shanah hum
Kashti-e-aalam ba-toofan-e-taghaful de ke hain
Aalam-e-aab-e-gudaz-e-jauhar-e-afsana hum
Wahshat-e-be-rabti-e-pech-o-kham-e-hasti na poochh
Nang-e-balidan hain jun mo-e-sar-e-deewana hum
