ye na thii hamaarii kismat ki visaal-e-yaar hotaa

kahuu.N kis se mai.n ke kyaa hai shab-e-Gam burii balaa hai
mujhe kyaa buraa thaa maranaa agar ek baar hotaa
ye masaa_il-e-tasavvuf, ye teraa bayaan 'Ghalib'
tujhe ham valii samajhate jo na baadaa_Khvaar hotaa
[masaa_il = topics; tasavvuf = mysticism]
[valii = prince/friend, baadaa_Khvaar = drinker]
