ye jo ham hijr me.n diivaar-o-dar ko dekhate hai.n
Mirza Ghalib

ye jo ham hijr me.n diivaar-o-dar ko dekhate hai.n
kabhii sabaa ko kabhii naamaabar ko dekhate hai.n

vo aaye ghar me.n hamaare Khudaa kii kudarat hai
kabhii ham un ko kabhii apane ghar ko dekhate hai.n

nazar lage na kahii.n usake dast-o-baazuu ko
ye log kyo.n mere zaKhm-e-jigar ko dekhate hai.n

[dast-o-baazuu=hands & shoulders]

tere javaahiir-e-tarf-e-kulah ko kyaa dekhe.n
ham auj-e-taalaa-e-laal-o-guhar ko dekhate hai.n

[javaahiir=jewels, tarf=golden belt, kulah=crown, auj=height/position]
[taalaa=luck, laal-o-guhar=diamonds & pearls]
