Aah Ko Chaahiye Ek Umr Asar Hone Tak
Kaun Jeeta Hain Teree Zulf Ke Sar Hone Tak
Aashiqui Sabra Talab Aur Tamanna Betaab
Dil Ka Kya Rang Karoo Khoon-E-Jigar Hone Tak
Ham Ne Maana Ke Tagaful Na Karoge, Lekin
Khaak Ho Jaayenge Ham Tumko Khabar Hone Tak
Gham-E-Hasti Ka Asad Kis Se Ho Juz Marg Ilaaj
Shamma Har Rang Mein Jalti Hain Sahar Hone Tak
(Mirza Ghalib)
