Poet
ham ko havas-e-jalva-gah-e-tur nahin hai
us husn ki kya qadr jo mastur nahin hai
afsana-e-majnun se nahin kam mira qissa
is baat ko jaane do ki mashhur nahin hai
kaabe ko chale jaaen dar-e-dost se uth kar
par us ka satana hamen manzur nahin hai
vo meri ayadat ko zarur aengi hamdam
kahte hain ki makkar hai ranjur nahin hai
khilne se bhala us ke dukhe kyuun dil-e-bulbul
hai ghuncha-e-gul zakhm ka angur nahin hai
davat se musakhkhar ho na taaat se mayassar
huun jis pe fida vo pari-o-hur nahin hai
mushrik kahe ashiq ko jo le naam khuda ka
sach kahte ho us shokh se kuchh duur nahin hai
ho raat to jiite rahen ummid-e-sahar par
ye roz-e-siyah hi shab-e-dijur nahin hai
‘nazim’ main padhata use ‘ghalib’ ke qasaed
afsos ki ‘khaqani’-e-maghfur nahin hai
