Mehram nahi hai tu hi nawa'haye raaz ka

Mehram nahi hai tu hi nawa'haye raaz ka,
Yaan warna jo hijab hai parda hai saaz ka,
Tu aur sooye ghair nazar haye taiz taiz,!
Main aur dukh teri mazahaye raaz ka,
Hain bs'ke josh e badaa se seeshay uchal rahe,
Her gosha e bisaat hai sar sheesha baz ka,
Kawish ka dil kare hai taqaza k hai hanooz,
Nakhun py qarz is girrah e neem baz ka,
Taraaj e kawish e gham e hijraan hua Ghalib,
Seena k tha dafeena guher haye raaz ka.
(Mirza Ghalib)
