daaem abad rahegi duniya ham na honge koi ham sa hoga

yeh kaayenaat behad haseen hai magar unke liye jo jeena jaante hain.

yahan libas ki qimat hai aadmi ki nahin mujhe gilas bade de sharab kam kar de

duniya men huun duniya ka talabgar nahin huun bazar se guzra huun kharidar nahin huun

i live in this world tho for life i do not vie i pass through the market but i do not wish to buy

dekha hai zindagi ko kuchh itne qarib se chehre tamam lagne lage hain ajiib se

bazicha-e-atfal hai duniya mire aage hota hai shab-o-roz tamasha mire aage

just like a child's playground this world appears to me every single night and day, this spectacle i see ghalib (mirza ghalib) presents the world as a trivial game, like children’s play, suggesting it lacks real weight or seriousness. the “spectacle” of night and day becomes an endless performance that the speaker watches rather than joins. the emotional core is disillusionment mixed with detachment: life’s routines look repetitive, staged, and ultimately unconvincing.

duniya jise kahte hain jaadu ka khilauna hai mil jaae to mitti hai kho jaae to sona hai

ghham-e-duniya bhi ghham-e-yar men shamil kar lo nashsha badhta hai sharaben jo sharabon men milen

let love's longing with the ache of existence compound when spirits intermingle the euphoria is profound

justuju jis ki thi us ko to na paaya ham ne is bahane se magar dekh li duniya ham ne

ghar ke bahar dhundhta rahta huun duniya ghar ke andar duniya-dari rahti hai

duniya to chahti hai yunhi fasle rahen duniya ke mashvaron pe na ja us gali men chal

tamannaon men uljhaya gaya huun khilaune de ke bahlaya gaya huun

thodi si aql laae the ham bhi magar 'adam' duniya ke hadsat ne divana kar diya

ik nazar ka fasana hai duniya sau kahani hai ik kahani se

ye duniya ghham to deti hai sharik-e-ghham nahin hoti kisi ke duur jaane se mohabbat kam nahin hoti

raas aane lagi duniya to kaha dil ne ki ja ab tujhe dard ki daulat nahin milne vaali

haath duniya ka bhi hai dil ki kharabi men bahut phir bhi ai dost tiri ek nazar se kam hai

lamhe udaas udaas fazaen ghuti ghuti duniya agar yahi hai to duniya se bach ke chal

bhuul shayad bahut badi kar li dil ne duniya se dosti kar li

jitni buri kahi jaati hai utni buri nahin hai duniya bachchon ke schol men shayad tum se mili nahin hai duniya

daaem abad rahegi duniya ham na honge koi ham sa hoga

yeh kaayenaat behad haseen hai magar unke liye jo jeena jaante hain.

yahan libas ki qimat hai aadmi ki nahin mujhe gilas bade de sharab kam kar de

duniya men huun duniya ka talabgar nahin huun bazar se guzra huun kharidar nahin huun

duniya ne tajrabat o havadis ki shakl men jo kuchh mujhe diya hai vo lauta raha huun main

duniya jise kahte hain jaadu ka khilauna hai mil jaae to mitti hai kho jaae to sona hai

chale to paanv ke niche kuchal gai koi shai nashe ki jhonk men dekha nahin ki duniya hai

justuju jis ki thi us ko to na paaya ham ne is bahane se magar dekh li duniya ham ne

ghar ke bahar dhundhta rahta huun duniya ghar ke andar duniya-dari rahti hai

bahut mushkil hai duniya ka sanvarna tiri zulfon ka pech-o-kham nahin hai

tamannaon men uljhaya gaya huun khilaune de ke bahlaya gaya huun

ghham-e-zamana ne majbur kar diya varna ye aarzu thi ki bas teri aarzu karte

jitni buri kahi jaati hai utni buri nahin hai duniya bachchon ke schol men shayad tum se mili nahin hai duniya

ik nazar ka fasana hai duniya sau kahani hai ik kahani se

ye duniya ghham to deti hai sharik-e-ghham nahin hoti kisi ke duur jaane se mohabbat kam nahin hoti

raas aane lagi duniya to kaha dil ne ki ja ab tujhe dard ki daulat nahin milne vaali

haath duniya ka bhi hai dil ki kharabi men bahut phir bhi ai dost tiri ek nazar se kam hai

paanv jab simte to raste bhi hue takiya-nashin boriya jab tah kiya duniya utha kar le gae
