سب کہاں کچھ لالہ و گل میں نمایاں ہو گئیں — مرزا غالب

Sab kahan kuchh lala-o-gul mein numayan ho gayin

Sab kahan kuchh lala-o-gul mein numayan ho gayin
Khak mein kya suratein hongi ke pinhan ho gayin
Yaad thin ham ko bhi ranga-rang bazm-aaraaiyan
Lekin ab naqsh-o-nigar-e-taq-e-nisyan ho gayin
Thin banat-un-nash-e-gardoon din ko parde mein nihan
Shab ko un ke jee mein kya aayi ke uriyan ho gayin
Qaid mein Yaqoob ne li go na Yusuf ki khabar
Lekin aankhein rozen-e-diwar-e-zindan ho gayin
Sab raqeebon se hoon na-khush par zanan-e-Misr se
Hai Zulaikha khush ke mahw-e-mah-e-Kanaan ho gayin
Joo-e-khoon aankhon se bahne do ke hai sham-e-firaq
Main ye samjhunga ke sham'ein do furozan ho gayin
Un pari-zadon se lenge khuld mein ham intiqam
Qudrat-e-Haq se yehi hoorein agar waan ho gayin
Neend us ki hai, dimagh us ka hai, raatein us ki hi hain
Teri zulfein jis ke bazoo par pareshan ho gayin
Main chaman mein kya gaya goya dabistan khul gaya
Bulbulein sun kar mere nale ghazal-khwan ho gayin
Wo nigahein kyun hui jati hain Ya Rab dil ke paar
Jo meri kotahi-e-qismat se muzhgan ho gayin
Bas ke roka main ne aur seene mein ubhrein pay ba pay
Meri aahein bakhiya-chak-e-gireban ho gayin
Waan gaya bhi main to un ki galiyon ka kya jawab
Yaad thin jitni dua'ein sarf-e-darban ho gayin
Jan-faza hai baada jis ke hath mein jam aa gaya
Sab lakeerein hath ki goya rag-e-jan ho gayin
Ham muwahhid hain, hamara kesh hai tark-e-rusoom
Millatein jab mit gayin ajza-e-eeman ho gayin
Ranj se khugar hua insan to mit jata hai ranj
Mushkilein mujh par padein itni ke aasan ho gayin
Yun hi gar rota raha Ghalib to aye ahl-e-jahan
Dekhna un bastiyon ko tum ke veeran ho gayin
