ibteda

From the album Mirza Ghalib
rendition by Gulzaar

hain aur bhi sukhanvar duniya mein bahut achhe,
kehte hain ki Ghalib ka hai andaz-e-bayan aur


Balli maarhah ke mahalle ki wo pechida daleelon ki see galiyan
saamne yaal ke nukkad pe bateron ke posheede
gud-gudaati hui paan pi peekon mein wo daad wo wah-wah
chand darwaaze par layke huye boshida se kuch taat ke parde
ek bakri ke mamiyaane ki awaaz
aur dhoondhlaayi huyi shaam ke be-noor andhere
aise deewaron se mooh jod kar chalte hain yahan
chudi-waala unke katri ke badi bee jaise
apni boojhti hui aankhon se darwaaze tatole
isee be-noor andheri see gali qaasim se
eik tarteeb chiragon kee shuru hoti hai
ek quran-e-sukhan ka safa khulta hai
asad allah khan 'Ghalib' ka patha milta hai.

har ek baat pe kehte ho tum ke 'too kya hai' ?
tumhee kaho ke yeh andaaz-e-guftgoo kya hai ?

ragon mein daudte firne ke ham naheen qaayal
jab aankh hee se na tapka to phir lahoo kya hai ?

chipak raha hai badan par lahoo se pairaahan
hamaaree jeb ko ab haajat-e-rafoo kya hai ?

jalaa hai jism jahaan dil bhee jal gaya hoga
kuredate ho jo ab raakh, justjoo kya hai ?

rahee na taaqat-e-guftaar, aur agar ho bhee
to kis ummeed pe kahiye ke aarzoo kya hai ?
