Na tha kuch to Khuda tha, kuch na hota to Khuda hota
duboya mujh ko hone ne, na hota main to kya hota
hua jab gam se yun behis to gam kya sar k katne ka
na hota gar juda tan se to zannon par dhara hota
na hota gar juda tan se to zannon par dhara hota
hui muddat k 'Ghalib' mar gaya par yad ata hai
wo har ek bat pe kahna k yun hota to kya hota
wo har ek bat pe kahna k yun hota to kya hota
Mirza Ghalib
