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

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

Urdu Poem: Mirza Ghalib: Yeh Kaam Bhi Asan Nikla

Shoq, har rang, raqibay sarosaman nikla
qees, tasweer kay parday mein bhi, oryan nikla
Zakham nay daad nah di tangi-ye dil ki, YaRabb!
Tir bhi sinah-a bismil say par afshan nikla
Bu-a gul, nalah-a dil, duuday charaghay mefil
Jo tiri bazm say nikla, so parishan nikla
Dilay hasrat-zadah, tha maidah-a lazzatay dil
Kaam yaron ka, baqadray lab-o-dandan nikla
Hay no-amozay fanah, himmatay dushwar pasand
Sakh mushkil hay keh yeh kaam bhi asan nikla
Dil mein phir giryah nay shor othaya Ghalib!
Ah! jo qatrah nah nikla tha, ttufan nikla

Urdu Poem: Mirza Ghalib: Aag Iis Ghar Mein Lagi Aysi

Dil mira, sozay nihan say, bay-muhaba jal giya
Aatishay khamosh ki manind goya jal giya
Dil mein, zoqay wisl-o-yaday yar tak, baqi nahin
Aag iis ghar mein lagi aysi keh jo tha jal giya
Mein adam say bhi paray hoon, warnah, ghafil! baar-ha
Meri ahay aatshin say, baalay anqa jal giya
Arz keejye johray andeshah ki garmi kahan!
Kuch khiyal aya tha wehshat ka keh sehra jal giya
Dil nahin, tujh ko dikhata warnah daghon ki bahaar
Iis charaghan ka, karon kiya, kar farma jal giya
Mein hoon oor afsurdagi ki aarzu, Ghalib! keh dil
Dekh kar tarzay tapakay ehlay dunya jal giya

Urdu Poem: Mirza Ghalib: Dard Ki Dawa Pai

Kehtay ho "nah dein gay ham, dil ko agar parra paya"
Dil kahan keh gum kachay, ham nay mudd'aa paya
Ishq say, tabi'at nay, zeest ka maza paya
Dard ki dawa pai, dard bay-dawa paya
Dost daray dushman hay, a-tamad dil ma'lum!
Ah bay-asar dekhi, nalah na-rasa paya
Sadgi-o-purkari, bekhudi-o-hoshyari
Husm ko taghaful mein, jurrat-aazma paya
Ghunch phir laga khilnay, aaj ham nay apna dil paya
Khon kiya huwa dekha, gum kiya huwa paya
Hal-e-dil nahi ma'lum, lekin iis qadar, ya'ni
Ham nay baar-ha dhunda, tum nay baar-ha paya
Shoray panday naseh nay zakham par namak chirka
Aap say koi puchay, tum nay kiya maza paya

Urdu Poem: Mirza Ghalib: Dhampa Kafan Nay Dagh

Juz-qees, oor koi nah aaya, baru-a kar
Sehra magar, ba-tangi chashmay hasuud tha
Aashuftagi nay naqshay sawida kiya durust
Zahir huwa, keh dagh ka sarmayah duud tha
Tha khawab mein, khiyal ko tujh say mu'amlah
Jab aankh khul ga-e, nah ziyan tha nah suud tha
Leta hoon maktab gham-e-dil mein sabaq hanuz
Lekin yahi keh "raft" giya oor "buud" tha
Dhampa kafan nay dagh ayubay barhangi
Mein, warna har libas mein tangay wajuud tha
Teshay baghair mar nah saka kobakan, Asad!
Sargashtah-a Khumaray rasum-o quyuud tha

Urdu Poem: Mirza Ghalib: Naqsh Faryadi

Naqsh faryadi, hay kis ki shokhi-ye tehrir ka
Kaghzi hay perahan, har pekaray tehrir ka
Ka-o kaway sakht jani haye tanhai nah puch
Subh karna sham ka, lana hay ju-a shir ka
Jazbah, bay-ikhtiyaray shoq dekha chahiye
Sina-a shamshir say bahir, hay dam shamshir ka
Aag-hi, dam-e-shanidan, jis qadar chahay bujha-a
Mudd'aa anqa hay apnay aalmay taqrir ka
Bas keh hoon, Ghalib! asiri mein bhi atish zeray-pa
Mu-a atish didah hay halqah miri zanjir ka
