Arz-e-neyaaz-e-ishq k qaabil nahi raha - Mirza Ghalib

Arz-e-neyaaz-e-ishq k qaabil nahi raha
Jis dil pe naaz tha mujhe, wo dil nahi raha

Jaata hun daagh-e-hasrat-e-hasti liay huey
Hun Shamm-e-kushta, darkhur-e-mehfil nahi raha

Marne ki aey dil, aur hi tadbeer kar ke main
Shayaan-e-dast-o-baazu-e-qaatil nahi raha

Ba-roo-e-shaah jehat dar-e-aainabaaz hai
Yaan imtiaz-e-naaqis-o-qaamil nahi raha

Waa kar diye hein shauq ne, band-e-naqaab-e-husn
Ghair az nigaah ab koi haael nahi raha

Go main raha raheen-e-sitam haaey rozgaar
Lekin tere khayaal se ghaafil nahi raha

Dil se hawa-e-kisht-o-wafa mitt k waan
Haasil siwaaey hasrat-e-hasil nahi raha

Bedaad-e-ishq se nahi darta magar Asad
Jis dil pe naaz tha mujhe, wo dil nahi raha
