ab lagta hai theek kaha tha ghalib ne badhte-badhte dard davaa ho jaata hai

sair kar duniya ki ghaafil zindagaani phir kahaan zindagi gar kuchh rahi to ye jawaani phir kahaan

vo dulhan ban ke ruksat ho gaii hai kahaan tak car ka peecha karoge

KHud se bhi mil na sako itne paas mat hona ishq to karna magar devdaas mat hona dekhna chaahna phir maangna ya kho dena ye saare khel hain in men udaas mat hona

ye shahar-e-ajnabi men ab kise ja kar bataayen ham kahaan ke rahne waale hain kahaan ki yaad aati hai
