ستائش گر ہے زاہد اس قدر جس باغ رضواں کا — مرزا غالب

Sitaishgar hai zahid is qadar jis bagh-e-rizwan ka

Sitaishgar hai zahid is qadar jis bagh-e-rizwan ka
Wo ek guldasta hai ham be-khudon ke taq-e-nisyan ka
Bayan kya kijiye bedad-e-kawish-hay-e-muzhgan ka
Ke har yak qatra-e-khoon dana hai tasbeeh-e-marjan ka
Na aayi satwat-e-qatil bhi maney mere nalon ko
Liya danton mein jo tinka hua resha-e-naistan ka
Dikhunga tamasha di agar fursat zamane ne
Mera har dagh-e-dil ek tukhm hai sarv-e-chiraghan ka
Kya aaina-khana ka wo naqsha tere jalwe ne
Kare jo partaw-e-khursheed-e-alam-e-shabnamistan ka
Meri tameer mein muzmar hai ek surat-e-kharabi ki
Hiyoola barq-e-khirman ka hai khoon-e-garm-e-dehqan ka
Uga hai ghar mein har soo sabza-e-veerani tamasha kar
Madar ab khodne par ghas ke hai mere darban ka
Khamoshi mein nihan khoon-gushta lakhon aarzoo'ein hain
Charagh-e-murda hoon main be-zaban-e-gor-e-ghareeban ka
Hunooz ek partaw-e-naqsh-e-khayal-e-yar baqi hai
Dil-e-afsarda goya hujra hai Yusuf ke zindan ka
Baghal mein ghair ki aaj aap sote hain kahin warna
Sabab kya khwab mein aa kar tabassum-hay-e-pinhan ka
Nahin maloom kis kis ka lahoo pani hua hoga
Qiyamat hai sarashk-alooda hona teri muzhgan ka
Nazar mein hai hamari jada-e-rah-e-fana Ghalib
Ke ye shiraza hai alam ke ajza-e-pareshan ka
