Chahiye Achchhon Ko Jitna Chahiye
chahiye achchhon ko jitna chahiye
ye agar chahen to phir kya chahiye
sohbat-e-rindan se wajib hai hazar
ja-e-mai apne ko khincha chahiye
chahne ko tere kya samjha tha dil
bare ab is se bhi samjha chahiye
chaak mat kar jaib be-ayyam-e-gul
kuchh udhar ka bhi ishaara chahiye
dosti ka parda hai beganagi
munh chhupana hum se chhoDa chahiye
dushmani ne meri khoya ghair ko
kis qadar dushman hai dekha chahiye
apni ruswai mein kya chalti hai sai
yar hi hangama-ara chahiye
munhasir marne pe ho jis ki umid
na-umidi us ki dekha chahiye
ghafil in mah-talaton ke waste
chahne wala bhi achchha chahiye
chahte hain KHub-ruyon ko 'asad'
aap ki surat to dekha chahiye
Mirza Ghalib
