مرزا غالب

English rendering

Mazey jahan ke apni nazar mein khak nahin Siwaye khoon-e-jigar sau jigar mein khak nahin Magar ghubaar hue par hawa uda le jaaye Wagarna taab-o-tawaan baal-o-par mein khak nahin Yeh kis bahisht-e-shamail ki aamad aamad hai Ke ghair jalwa-e-gul rehguzar mein khak nahin Bhala usay na sahi kuch mujhi ko rehm aata Asar mere nafas-e-be-asar mein khak nahin Khayaal-e-jalwa-e-gul se kharab hain maikash Sharab-khana ke deewar-o-dar mein khak nahin Hua hoon ishq ki gharatgari se sharminda Siwaye hasrat-e-taameer ghar mein khak nahin Hamare sher hain ab sirf dil-lagi ke Asad Khula ke faida arz-e-hunar mein khak nahin
