rekhte ke tumhin ustad nahin ho 'ghhalib' kahte hain agle zamane men koi 'mir' bhi tha in this famous closing couplet, ghalib displays a mix of modesty and reverence for literary history. he acknowledges that while he is a master of his craft, he is not the sole authority, paying homage to his legendary predecessor, mir taqi mir. it suggests that true artistic greatness is a continuum, and ghalib bows to the mastery of the past.
shagird hain ham 'mir' se ustad ke 'rasikh' ustadon ka ustad hai ustad hamara
'sauda' tu is ghhazal ko ghhazal-dar-ghhazal hi kah hona hai tujh ko 'mir' se ustad ki taraf
ishq bin jiine ke adab nahin aate hain 'mir' sahab ne kaha hai ki miyan ishq karo
sher mere bhi hain pur-dard va-lekin 'hasrat' 'mir' ka sheva-e-guftar kahan se laun
'mir' ka rang baratna nahin asan ai 'daghh' apne divan se mila dekhiye divan un ka the couplet is a frank admission that mir’s poetic “color” (tone, diction, emotional texture) is difficult to reproduce. addressing himself, dagh urges a direct comparison of collections to recognize mir’s higher mastery. the metaphor of “rang” points to an inner artistic temperament, not just technique. emotionally, it blends reverence with humility and self-critique.
'daghh' ke sher javani men bhale lagte hain 'mir' ki koi ghhazal gaao ki kuchh chain pade
tum pe kya khaak asar hoga mire sheron ka tum ko to mir-taqi-'mir' nahin khinch saka
jab ghhazal 'mir' ki padhta hai padosi mera ik nami si miri divar men aa jaati hai
shaeri men 'mir'-o-'ghhalib' ke zamana ab kahan shohraten jab itni sasti hon adab dekhega kaun
shubh 'nasikh' nahin kuchh 'mir' ki ustadi men aap be-bahra hai jo mo'taqid-e-'mir' nahin
ashiqi men 'mir' jaise khvab mat dekha karo bavle ho jaoge mahtab mat dekha karo
sakht mushkil tha imtihan-e-ghhazal 'mir' ki naql kar ke paas hue
kal shaam chhat pe mir-taqi-'mir' ki ghhazal main gunguna rahi thi ki tum yaad aa gae
jab bhi tuuta mire khvabon ka hasin taj-mahal main ne ghabra ke kahi 'mir' ke lahje men ghhazal
ik 'mir' tha so aaj bhi kaghhaz men qaid hai hindi ghhazal ka dusra autar main hi huun
aaj ghhalib hai mire sar par ishq aaj main 'mir' hua chahta huun
tumhari yaad bhi chupke se aa ke baith gai ghhazal jo 'mir' ki ik gunguna raha tha main
'ghhalib' apna ye aqida hai ba-qaul-e-'nasikh' aap be-bahra hai jo mo'taqid-e-'mir' nahin the couplet declares an aesthetic creed: real poetic taste is measured by devotion to mir. by invoking nasikh as a supporting authority, ghalib turns a personal opinion into a ‘shared verdict.’ the sting lies in calling mir’s non-admirers “deprived,” mixing literary rivalry with playful, cutting wit.
guzre bahut ustad magar rang-e-asar men be-misl hai 'hasrat' sukhan-e-'mir' abhi tak

shagird hain ham 'mir' se ustad ke 'rasikh' ustadon ka ustad hai ustad hamara
hamare piir 'taqi-mir' ne kaha tha kabhi miyan ye 'ashiqi 'izzat bigad deti hai

'daghh' ke sher javani men bhale lagte hain 'mir' ki koi ghhazal gaao ki kuchh chain pade
hamara 'mir'-ji se muttafiq hona hai na-mumkin uthana hai jo patthar ishq ka to halka bhari kya
jab ghhazal 'mir' ki padhta hai padosi mera ik nami si miri divar men aa jaati hai
shaeri men 'mir'-o-'ghhalib' ke zamana ab kahan shohraten jab itni sasti hon adab dekhega kaun
ab khuda maghhfirat kare us ki 'mir' marhum tha ajab koi
ashiqi men 'mir' jaise khvab mat dekha karo bavle ho jaoge mahtab mat dekha karo
main huun kya chiiz jo us tarz pe jaun 'akbar' 'nasikh' o 'zauq' bhi jab chal na sake 'mir' ke saath
