Ghalib says

dekhanaa qismat ki aap apane pe rashk aa jaaye hai
mai.n use dekhuu.N bhalaa kab mujhase dekhaa jaaye hai



haath dho dil se yahii garmii gar a.ndeshe me.n hai
aab_giinaa tu.ndii-e-sahabaa se pighalaa jaaye hai



Gair ko yaarab vo kyo.n kar manaa-e-gustaaKhii kare
gar hayaa bhii usako aatii hai to sharmaa jaaye hai


shauq ko ye lat ke hardam naalaa Khe.nche jaaiiye
dil ki vo haalat ki dam lene se ghabaraa jaaye hai


duur chashm-e-bad terii bazm-e-taraab se vaah vaah
naGmaa ho jaataa hai vaa.N gar naalaa meraa jaaye hai


garche hai tarz-e-taGaaful pardaadaar-e-raaz-e-ishq
par ham aise khoye jaate hai.n ki vo paa jaaye hai



usakii bazmaaraaiiyaa.N sunakar dil-e-ra.njuur yaa.N
misl-e-naqsh-e-muddaa-e-Gair baiThaa jaaye hai



hoke aashiq vo parii_ruKh aur naazuk ban gayaa
rang khulataa jaaye hai jitanaa ki u.Dataa jaaye hai



naqsh ko usake musavvir par bhii kyaa kyaa naaz hai
khe.nchataa hai jis qadar utanaa hii khi.nchataa jaaye hai


saayaa meraa mujhase misl-e-duud bhaage hai 'Asad'
paas mujh aatish_ba-jaa.N ke kis se Thaharaa jaaye hai
