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]
