Ghazal by Vinay - courtecy "Mirza Ghalib"

aa, ki meree jaan ko qaraar naheeN hai
taaqat-e-bedaad-e-intazaar naheeN hai

dete haiN jannat hayaat-e-dahar ke badle
nashsha ba_andaaza-e-KHummaar naheeN hai

giriya nikaale hai teree bazm se mujh ko
haay ! ki roone pe iKHtiyaar naheeN hai

hamse 'abas hai gumaan-e-ranjish-e-KHaatir
KHaak meiN ushshaaq kee GHubaar naheeN hai

dil se uThaa lutf-e-jalva haay ma'anee
GHair-e-gul aainaa-e-bahaar naheeN hai

qatl ka mere kiya hai 'ahad to baare
waae ! akhar 'ahad ustuwaar naheeN hai

toone qasam mai_kashee kee khaaee hai 'GHalib'
teree qasam ka kuchch 'eitbaar naheeN hai !
