مری ہستی فضاۓ حیرت آباد تمنا ہے — مرزا غالب

Meri hasti faza-e-hairat-aabad-e-tamanna hai

Meri hasti faza-e-hairat-aabad-e-tamanna hai
Jise kehte hain naala woh usi alam ka anqa hai
Khizan kya fasl-e-gul kehte hain kis ko koi mausam ho
Wohi hum hain qafas hai aur maatam-e-baal-o-par ka hai
Wafa-e-dil-baran hai ittifaqi wagarna ae hamdam
Asar faryaad-e-dil-ha-e-hazin ka kis ne dekha hai
Na laai shokhi-e-andesha taab-e-ranj-e-na-ummeedi
Kaf-e-afsos malna ahd-e-tajdeed-e-tamanna hai
Na soo-e-aablon mein gar sar-e-ashk-e-dida-e-nam se
Ba-jaulan-gah-e-na-ummeedi nigah-e-aajizan pa hai
Ba-sakhti-ha-e-qaid-e-zindagi maloom aazadi
Sharar bhi said-e-daam-e-rishta-e-rag-ha-e-khara hai
Taghaful mashrabi se na-tamami bas-ke paida hai
Nigah-e-naaz chashm-e-yaar mein zunnar-e-meena hai
Tasarrruf wahshiyon mein hai tasawwur-ha-e-Majnoon ka
Sawaad-e-chashm-e-aahoo aks-e-khal-e-roo-e-laila hai
Muhabbat tarz-e-paiwand-e-nihal-e-dosti jaane
Davedan resha-saan muft-e-rag-e-khwab-e-zulekha hai
Kya yak sar gudaz-e-dil-e-niyaz-e-joshish-e-hasrat
Sawida nuskha-e-teh-bandi-e-daagh-e-tamanna hai
Hajoom-e-rezish-e-khoon ke sabab rang ud nahin sakta
Hina-e-panja-e-sayyad murgh-e-rishta-bar pa hai
Asar soz-e-muhabbat ka qayamat be-muhaba hai
Ke rag se sang mein tukhm-e-sharar ka resha paida hai
Nihaan hai gauhar-e-maqsood jaib-e-khud-shanasi mein
Ke yaan ghawwas hai timsal aur aaina-e-darya hai
Azizo zikr-e-wasl-e-ghair se mujh ko na bahlao
Ke yaan afsoon-e-khwab afsaana-e-khwab-e-zulekha hai
Tasawwur ba-har-e-taskin-e-tapeedan-ha-e-tifl-e-dil
Ba-baagh-e-rang-ha-e-rafta-e-gul-cheen-e-tamasha hai
Ba-sa'i-e-ghair hai qat-e-libas-e-khana-veerani
Ke naaz-e-jaada-e-reh-e-rishta-e-daaman-e-sahra hai
