    Interesting Fact

    (On the celebration of Ghalib's bicentenary)

    tum ye kahte ho ki qaa.il nahīñ aslāf maiñ

    sach hai ye daur bhī aslāf parastī nahīñ

    aaj har jaam se labrez mai-e-hastī se

    jām-e-dīroz meñ ye bāda-e-rañgīñ hai kahīñ

    tum ne samjhā nahīñ falsafa-e-zīst hai kyā

    kab maiñ kahtā huuñ ki jhuTlā do guzishta lamhe

    maiñ ne to aur bhī chamkā.e haiñ maazī ke nuqūsh

    gul kiye hoñge tumhīñ ne ga.e vaqtoñ ke diye

    maiñ is aflās-zada daur se bach kar ai dost

    likh nahīñ saktā kisī haal meñ bosīda adab

    aur ye bhī nahīñ ho saktā ki maiñ pesh karūñ

    be-tap-o-tāp-o-parāganda-o-zūlīda adab

    kal jo thā tarz-e-jahāñ aaj kahāñ hai baaqī

    saath de saktī nahīñ aaj vo rasm-e-kohan

    kal to kuchh aur thī lauh-o-qalam duniyā

    aaj kuchh aur hai dīvānoñ andāz-e-suḳhan

    mere afkār pe kahte ho ki hai mohr lagī

    'hāfiz'-o-'sādī' bhī haiñ ahd-e-guzishta ke adiib

    tum batlāo ki martā hai kahīñ aisā adab

    jo rahā ho ġham-e-hastī ġham-e-daurāñ ke qarīb

    ishq aur husn ke afsānoñ meñ kyā rakkhā hai

    sun ke un qissoñ ko bīmār nahīñ sakte

    jis meñ sharbat ho faqat bāda-e-tiryāq na ho

    aaj us jaam ko mai-ḳhvār nahīñ sakte

    mere dil meñ bhī aqīdat diyā jaltā hai

    ho 'zuhūrī'-o-'nazīrī' ho 'tālib' kalām

    'keats' 'tagore' ki 'iqbāl' hoñ 'tulsī' hoñ ki 'mīr'

    sab se 'ġhālib' ko judā rakhtā hai 'ġhālib' kalām

    aaj bhī hazrat-e-ġhālib qalam zinda hai

    us se miltā hai abhī jis zarūrat hai hameñ

    aaj ke daur meñ bhī taaza haiñ afkār us ke

    ye alag baat ki us se bhī kudūrat hai hameñ

    tum ye kahte ho ki qail nahin aslaf ka main

    sach hai ye daur bhi aslaf parasti ka nahin

    aaj har jam se labrez mai-e-hasti se

    jam-e-diroz mein ye baada-e-rangin hai kahin

    tum ne samjha hi nahin falsafa-e-zist hai kya

    kab main kahta hun ki jhuTla do guzishta lamhe

    main ne to aur bhi chamkae hain mazi ke nuqush

    gul kiye honge tumhin ne gae waqton ke diye

    main is aflas-zada daur se bach kar ai dost

    likh nahin sakta kisi haal mein bosida adab

    aur ye bhi nahin ho sakta ki main pesh karun

    be-tap-o-tap-o-paraganda-o-zulida adab

    kal jo tha tarz-e-jahan aaj kahan hai baqi

    sath de sakti nahin aaj ka wo rasm-e-kohan

    kal to kuchh aur hi thi lauh-o-qalam ki duniya

    aaj kuchh aur hai diwanon ka andaz-e-suKHan

    mere afkar pe kahte ho ki hai mohr lagi

    'hafiz'-o-'sadi' bhi hain ahd-e-guzishta ke adib

    tum hi batlao ki marta hai kahin aisa adab

    jo raha ho gham-e-hasti gham-e-dauran ke qarib

    ishq aur husn ke afsanon mein kya rakkha hai

    sun ke un qisson ko bimar nahin ji sakte

    jis mein sharbat ho faqat baada-e-tiryaq na ho

    aaj us jam ko mai-KHwar nahin pi sakte

    mere dil mein bhi aqidat ka diya jalta hai

    ho 'zuhuri'-o-'naziri' ki ho 'talib' ka kalam

    'keats' 'tagore' ki 'iqbaal' hon 'tulsi' hon ki 'mir'

    sab se 'ghaalib' ko juda rakhta hai 'ghaalib' ka kalam

    aaj bhi hazrat-e-ghaalib ka qalam zinda hai

    us se milta hai abhi jis ki zarurat hai hamein

    aaj ke daur mein bhi taza hain afkar us ke

    ye alag baat ki us se bhi kudurat hai hamein
