واں پہنچ کر جو غش آتا پئے ہم ہے ہم کو — مرزا غالب

Waan pahunch kar jo ghash aata paye hum hai hum ko

Waan pahunch kar jo ghash aata paye hum hai hum ko
Sad rah-e-aahang zamin-bos-e-qadam hai hum ko
Dil ko main aur mujhe dil mahv-e-wafa rakhta hai
Kis qadar zauq-e-giriftari-e-gham hai hum ko
Za'f se naqsh-e-paye-e-moor hai tauq-e-gardan
Tere kuche se kahan taaqat-e-ram hai hum ko
Jaan kar kijiye taghaful ki kuchh umeed bhi ho
Yeh nigah-e-ghalat-andaaz to sam hai hum ko
Rashk-e-hum-tarahi-o-dard-e-asar baang-e-hazin
Nala-e-murgh-e-sahar tegh-e-do-dam hai hum ko
Sar udaane ke jo wade ko mukarrar chaha
Hans ke bole ki tere sar ki qasam hai hum ko
Dil ke khoon karne ki kya wajah walekin nachaar
Paas be-raunaqi-e-deedah-e-purnam hai hum ko
Tum woh nazuk ki khamoshi ko faghan kehte ho
Hum woh aajiz ki taghaful bhi sitam hai hum ko
Lakhnau aane ka ba'is nahin khulta ya'ani
Hawas-e-sair-o-tamasha so woh kam hai hum ko
Maqta'-e-silsila-e-shauq nahin hai yeh shahr
Azm-e-sair-e-Najaf-o-tawf-e-Haram hai hum ko
Liye jaati hai kahin ek tawaqqo Ghalib
Jada-e-rah-e-kashish-e-kaaf-e-karam hai hum ko
Abr rota hai ki bazm-e-tarab aamada karo
Barq hansti hai ki fursat koi dam hai hum ko
Taqat-e-ranj-e-safar bhi nahin paate itni
Hijr-e-yaraan-e-watan ka bhi alam hai hum ko
Layi hai Mo'tamid-ud-daulah Bahadur ki umeed
Jada-e-rah-e-kashish-e-kaaf-e-karam hai hum ko
