غرقِ دریا

ہوئے مر کر ہم جو رسوا، ہوئے کیوں‌نہ غرقِ دریا

نہ کبھی جنازہ اٹھتا، نہ کہیں مزار ہوتا

Not Something that I want obviously … just circulating in my mind :)

ye na thee hamaaree qismat ke wisaal-e-yaar hota
agar aur jeete rehte yahee intezaar hota

tere waade par jiye ham to ye jaan jhooT jaanaa
ke KHushee se mar na jaate agar ‘eitabaar hota

teree naazukee se jaana ki bandha tha ‘ehed_booda
kabhee too na toD sakta agar oostuwaar hota

koee mere dil se pooche tere teer-e-neemkash ko
ye KHalish kahaaN se hotee jo jigar ke paar hota

ye kahaaN ki dostee hai ke bane haiN dost naaseh
koee chaarasaaz hota, koee GHamgusaar hota

rag-e-sang se Tapakta wo lahoo ki fir na thamta
jise GHam samajh rahe ho, ye agar sharaar hota

GHam agarche jaaN_gulis hai, pe kahaaN bachaiN ke dil hai
GHam-e-ishq gar na hota, GHam-e-rozgaar hota

kahooN kis se maiN ke kya hai, shab-e-GHam buree bala hai
mujhe kya bura tha marna? agar ek baar hota

hue mar ke ham jo ruswa, hue kyoN na GHarq-e-dariya
na kabhee janaaza uThata, na kaheeN mazaar hota

usey kauN dekh sakta ki yagaana hai wo yaktaa
jo dooee ki boo bhee hotee to kaheeN do chaar hota

ye masaail-e-tasawwuf, ye tera bayaaN ‘GHalib’ !
tujhe ham walee samajhate, jo na baada_KHwaar hota

nice theme. some lines related to “janaza”

Through the bleak window of my soul
In marble halls of falling snow
Winter touch the Earth undone
Embittered we embrace the funerals to come

Oh… someone fancies Pharaoh’s death (the Moses one)

:P :D

Now we know where Asma bibi gets her inspiration from. :D

Fariha Aisii ki taisi ghota khoron ki :P

Sidhusaaheb I have such a love-love relationship with mirza ghalib naa – kay bas … this one is my alll alll alll time fave ghazal :)

Viscous When it shall come, I may not be able to remember these lines … alas!

An Illusion Hmm … interested ?? :$

Pardonez-moi Allah raham karay :)

Stinger Aik din hua hay comment post kiyay … and ur these days. Kiya aalam hay mubhalgha arayi ka…!

On serious notes …. Pharaoh’s end never occur ed to me while remembering these lines. It never did even before. And which inspiration are you talking about? I was unable to comprehend that part.
