mirza ghaalib

mādar-e-hind ke fankār the mirzā 'ġhālib'

apne fan meñ baḌe hushyār the mirzā 'ġhālib'

aap kā naam asadullāh thā nau-shāh laqab

mirzā ġhālib se hue baad meñ mārūf-e-adab

aaj bhī paḌh ke kalām aap kā hairat meñ haiñ sab

zulf-e-urdu meñ giraftār the mirzā ġhālib

mādar-e-hind ke fankār the mirzā ġhālib

akbarabad meñ paidā hue dehlī meñ rahe

ahd-e-tiflī hī se duniyā ke baḌe zulm sahe

ab bhī har ahl-e-suḳhan aap ko ustād kahe

saare sho.arā ke alam-dār the mirzā ġhālib

mādar-e-hind ke fankār the mirzā 'ġhālib'

tañg-dastī meñ bhī chhoḌā na vafā kā dāman

muflisī meñ bhī na apnā.e ḳhushāmad ke chalan

ḳhūn-e-jazbāt se shādāb kiyā bāġh-e-suḳhan

fitratan shā.er-e-ḳhuddār the mirzā 'ġhālib'

mādar-e-hind ke fankār the mirzā ġhālib

aap par fārsī sho.arā kā bhī thā ḳhuub asar

mas.ala ḳhidmat-e-urdu kā bhī thā pesh-e-nazar

apne ash.ār kī azmat se bhī vāqif the magar

'mīr' jī ke bhī taraf-dār the mirzā 'ġhālib'

mādar-e-hind ke fankār the mirzā 'ġhālib'

ḳhat-navīsī kā diyā ek anokhā andāz

guuñj uThī bazm-e-adab meñ ye nirālī āvāz

aap maidān-e-suḳhan meñ bhī the sab se mumtāz

saath hī ik baḌe nassār the mirzā 'ġhālib'

mādar-e-hind ke fankār the mirzā 'ġhālib'

be-niyāz-e-ġham-o-ālām har ik fikr se duur

ho musībat meñ bhī rahte the hamesha masrūr

aaj bhī jin ke latīfe haiñ jahāñ meñ mash.hūr

muskurāte hue kirdār the mirzā 'ġhālib'

mādar-e-hind ke fankār the mirzā 'ġhālib'

madar-e-hind ke fankar the mirza 'ghaalib'

apne fan mein baDe hushyar the mirza 'ghaalib'

aap ka nam asadullah tha nau-shah laqab

mirza ghaalib se hue baad mein maruf-e-adab

aaj bhi paDh ke kalam aap ka hairat mein hain sab

zulf-e-urdu mein giraftar the mirza ghaalib

madar-e-hind ke fankar the mirza ghaalib

akbarabad mein paida hue dehli mein rahe

ahd-e-tifli hi se duniya ke baDe zulm sahe

ab bhi har ahl-e-suKHan aap ko ustad kahe

sare shoara ke alam-dar the mirza ghaalib

madar-e-hind ke fankar the mirza 'ghaalib'

tang-dasti mein bhi chhoDa na wafa ka daman

muflisi mein bhi na apnae KHushamad ke chalan

KHun-e-jazbaat se shadab kiya bagh-e-suKHan

fitratan shaer-e-KHuddar the mirza 'ghaalib'

madar-e-hind ke fankar the mirza ghaalib

aap par farsi shoara ka bhi tha KHub asar

masala KHidmat-e-urdu ka bhi tha pesh-e-nazar

apne ashaar ki azmat se bhi waqif the magar

'mir' ji ke bhi taraf-dar the mirza 'ghaalib'

madar-e-hind ke fankar the mirza 'ghaalib'

KHat-nawisi ka diya ek anokha andaz

gunj uThi bazm-e-adab mein ye nirali aawaz

aap maidan-e-suKHan mein bhi the sab se mumtaz

sath hi ek baDe nassar the mirza 'ghaalib'

madar-e-hind ke fankar the mirza 'ghaalib'

be-niyaz-e-gham-o-alam har ek fikr se dur

ho musibat mein bhi rahte the hamesha masrur

aaj bhi jin ke latife hain jahan mein mashhur

muskuraate hue kirdar the mirza 'ghaalib'

madar-e-hind ke fankar the mirza 'ghaalib'
