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 rang karuu.N Khuun-e-jigar hone tak

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

[taGaaful = neglect] 

Gam-e-hastii kaa 'Asad' kis se ho juz marg ilaaj
shamaa har rang me.n jalatii hai sahar hone tak

[juz = other than; marg = death; sahar = dawn]

Available in Album(s):
Golden Collection
