marza ghaalib

fikr insan par tiri hasti se ye raushan hua

hai par murgh takheel ki rasaai ta kuja

tha saraapa rooh toh bazm sukhan paikar tira

zeb mahfil bhi raha mahfil se pinhan bhi raha

deed teri aankh ko us husn ki manzoor hai

ban ke soz zindagi har shay mein jo mastor hai

mahfil hasti tiri barbat se hai sarmaaya daar

jis tarah nadi ke naghmon se sukoot kohsaar

tere firdaus takheel se hai qudrat ki bahaar

teri kisht fikr se agte hain aalam sabza waar

zindagi mazmar hai teri shokhi tahreer mein

taab goyaai se jumbish hai lab tasweer mein

nutque ko so naaz hain tere lab ejaaz par

mahaw hairat hai sareea rafat parwaaz par

shaahid mazmoon tasdaque hai tire andaaz par

khanda zan hai ghuncha dili gul sheeraaz par

aaha! toh ujdi hui dili mein aaraameeda hai

gulshan weemar mein tera ham nawa khwaabeeda hai

lutf goyaai mein teri hamasri mumkin nahi

ho takheel ka na jab tak fikr kaamil ham nashin

haaye! ab kya ho gai hindostan ki sar zamin

aaha! ai nazaara aamoz nigaah nukta bin

gesoo urdoo abhi minnat pazeer shaana hai

shama ye saudaai dil sozi parwaana hai

ai jahaan aabaad ai gahwaara ilm w hunar

hain saraapa naala khaamosh tere baam w dar

zarre zarre mein tire khwaabeeda hain shaman w quamar

yoon toh posheeda hain teri khaak mein laakhon guhar

dafn tujh mein koi fakhr rozgaar aisa bhi hai

tujh mein pinhan koi moti aabdaar aisa bhi hai
