Dhadkanon ke mele mein tanha sa Musafir hoon Ghalib, Dil mein dard liye apnon se judaa hoon, Kisi ke dil se nikaale jaane ka guroor nahin hain, Us dil ki hifaazat ke liye, ek numaaindaa shaqs ko unhin ke paas chhodkar jo aaya hoon. Ab jaakar lagi hain khud ke liye jeene ki aas, Ke taaumra kisi doosre ke liye marr mitne ki kasam jo lee hain, Us hi waade ko muqammal shakal dene ki koshish liye duniya se bhid gayaa hoon. | Quote by roohdaar shayar
