15 Most Popular Sher Of Mirza Ghalib

Aashiq hoon pe maashooq-farebi hai mira kaam
majnuun ko bura kahti hai laila mere aage

Ishq ne ‘Ghalib’ nikamma kar diya
varna ham bhi aadmi the kaam ke

Ishq par zor nahi hai ye vo aatash ‘Ghalib’
ki lagaaye na lage aur bujhaaye na bane

Is nazaaqat ka bura ho vo bhale hain to kya
haath aave to unhe haath lagaaye na bane

Is saadgi pe kaun na mar jaaye ai khuda
ladte hain aur haath mein talwaar bhi nahi

Udhar vo bad-gumani hai idhar ye naa-tavaani hai
na poochha jaaye hai us se na bola jaaye hai mujh se

Un ke dekhe se jo aa jaati hai munh pe raunak
vo samajhte hain ki beemar ka haal achchha hai

Etibar-e-ishq kee khana-kharaabi dekhna
gair ne kee aah lekin vo khafaa mujh par huye

Qat’a keejiye na taalluk ham se
kuchh nahi hai to adaavat hi sahi

Karz kee peete the may lekin samajhte the ki haan
rang laavegi hamaari faaka-masti ek din

Kahaan may-khaane ka darvaaja ‘Ghalib’ aur kahaan vaaiz
par itna jaante hain kal vo jaata tha ki ham nikle

Kaaba kis munh se jaaoge ‘Ghalib’
sharm tum ko magar nahi aati

Qaasid ke aate-aate khat ik aur likh rakhuun
mai jaanta huun jo vo likhenge jawaab mein

Kitne sheereen hain tere lab ki raqeeb
gaaliyaan kha ke be-mazaa na hua

Kee mire qatl ke baad us ne jafaa se tauba
haaye us zood-pasheemaan ka pasheemaan hona
