%[nuktaachii.N = critic/sweetheart ]

mai.n bulaataa to huu.N us ko magar ae jazbaa-e-dil
us pe ban jaae kuchh aisii ki bin aae na bane

khel samajhaa hai kahii.n chho.D na de, bhuul na jaae
kaash yuu.N bhii ho ki bin mere sataae na bane

Gair phirataa hai lie yuu.N tere Kat ko ki agar
koii puuchhe ki ye kyaa hai to chhupaae na bane

is nazaakat kaa buraa ho vo bhale hai.n to kyaa
haath aae.n to u.nhe.n haath lagaae na bane

maut kii raah na dekhuu.N ki bin aae na rahe

ishq par zor nahii.n, hai ye vo aatish 'Ghalib'
ki lagaae na lage aur bujhaae na bane
