Urdu Poem: Mirza Ghalib: Ham Nay Chaha Tha Keh Mar Jaein

Shumar sabhah marghubay butay mushkil pasand aaya
Tamasha-a bayak kaff bardanay sadd dil pasand aaya
bah faizay bay-dili, nomidi-ye jawaid asan hay
Kushaish ko hamara oqda-a mushkil pasand aaya
Hawa-a seray gul, aaina-a bay-mehi-ye qatil
Keh andazay bakhun ghaltidanay bismil pasand aaya
Deher mein, naqshay wafa, wajahay tasalli nah huwa
Hay yeh woh lafz keh sharminah-a ma'ni nah huwa
Sabza-a khatt say, tira kakilay sarkash nah daba
Yeh zamurrad bhi harifay dam af-e nah huwa
Mein nay chaha tha keh andohay wafa say chuton
Woh sitamgar miray marnay peh bhi razi nah huwa
Dil guzargahay khiyalay mey-o-saghar hi sahi
Gar nafs jadah-a sar manzilay taqwa nah huwa
Hon tiray wadah nah karnay mein bhi razi keh kabhi
Gosh minnat kashay galbangay tasalli nah huwa
Kis say mehrumi-ye qismat ki shikayat kijyee
Ham nay chaha tha keh mar jaein, so woh bhi nah huwa
Mar giya sadmah-a yak jumbishay lab say Ghalib
Natawani say, harifay damay eesa nah huwa
