Urdu Poem: Mirza Ghalib: Ajab Azad Mard Tha

Dhamki mein mar giya, jo nah babay nabard tha
Ishqay nabard peshah, talabgaray mard tha
Tha zindagi mein marg ka khatka laga huwa
Orrnay say peshtar bhi mira rang zard tha
Talifay nuskhah haye wafa kar raha tha mein
Majmuah-a khiyal abhi fard fard tha
Dilay ta-jigar keh sahilay darya-a khun hay abb
Iis rahguzar mein jalwah-a gul aagay gard tha
Jati hay koi kashmakash andohay ishq ki!
Dil bhi agar giya, tto wohi dil ka dard tha
Ehbaab charah sazi-ye wehshat nah kar sakay
Zandan mein bhi khiyal, biyaban noward tha
Yeh lashay bay-kafan, Asaday khastah jan ki hay
Haqq maghfarat karay, Ajab azad mard tha
