aah ko chaahiye ik umr asar hone tak
Mirza Ghalib

aah ko chaahiye ik umr asar hone tak
kaun jiitaa hai terii zulf ke sar hone tak

aashiqii sabr-talab aur tamannaa betaab
dil kaa kyaa ra.ng karuu.N Khuun-e-jigar hone tak

[sabr-talab=patient]

ham ne maanaa ke taGaaful na karoge lekin
Khaak ho jaaye.nge ham tumako Khabar hone tak

[taGaaful=neglect/ignore]

Gam-e-hastii kaa 'Asad' kis se ho juz marg ilaaj
shamm'a har ra.ng me.n jalatii hai sahar hone tak

[juz=other than; marg=death]
