Lazim tha ki dekho mera rasta koi din aur – Mirza Ghalib



Lazim tha ki dekho mera rasta koi din aur
tanha gaye kyon ab raho tanha koi din aur
mit jayega sar, gar tera paththar na ghisega
hun dar pe tere nasiyafarsa koi din aur
aaye ho kal aur aj hi kahate ho ki jaun
mana ki hamesha nahi acha koi din aur
jate hue kahate ho qayamat ko milenge
kya khub! qayamat ka hai goya koi din aur
han ae falak-e-pir, jawan tha abhi aarif
kya tera bigadata jo na marata koi din aur
tum mah-e-shab-e-charduhum the mere ghar ke
phir kyon na raha ghar ka wo naqsha koi din aur
tum kon se aise the khare dad-o-sitad ke
karta malakulmaut taqaza koi din aur
mujhase tumhen nafrat sahi, nayyar se ladai
bachon ka bhi dekha na tamasha koi din aur
guzri na baharhal ya muddat khushi-nakhush
karana tha javanmarg! guzra koi din aur
nadan ho jo kahate ho ki kyon jite ho ‘ghalib’
qismat mein hai marane ke tamanna koi din aur


Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Mirza Ghalib
