Yeh Kaun Laya Rang Basant Ka,
Aarizon Pe Chaaya Rang Basant Ka.

Woh Sajaate Hain Mehfil Rangon Ki
Hum Ne Bhi Laaya Rang Basant Ka.

Sard Hawaon Mein Lehrata Anchal
Shaam Ko Chhaya Rang Basant Ka.

Khat Likhten Hain Woh Naam Se Mere
Harfon Par Chhaya Rang Basant Ka.

Chuma Karte Hain Woh Phoolon Ko
Haule Se Sharmaaya Rang Basant Ka.

Unse "Tasaavvur" Mein Milna Jab Bhi Hua
Saat Rangon Mein Aaya Rang Basant Ka.

Ghalib’s closest rival was poet Zauq, tutor of Bahadur Shah Zafar of shaayri, then emperor of India . There are some amusing anecdotes of the competition between Ghalib and Zauq . However, there was mutual respect for each other’s talent. Both also admired and acknowledged the supremacy of Meer Taqi Meer, a towering figure of Urdu Poetry of 18th century. Another poet Momin, whose ghazals had a distinctly lyrical flavor, was also a famous contemporary of Ghalib Saab.

Mirza Ghalib [1796-1869]

Mirza Asadullah Khan "Ghalib", born in 1796 in Akbarabad (present Agra), is one of the best of Urdu poets. He created a revolution in Urdu poetry . Ghalib used to have takhallus (pen name) of 'Asad' but when he listened a sher
Asad us jafaa par buton say wafaa ki
mere sher shabaash rahmat khuda ki .
Shayar of this should get rahmat of God but if it belongs to him then, he condemned himself and he changed his takhallus to 'ghalib'.

Mirza Ghalib become orphaned when he was just 5 years old. He lived with his uncle for 4 years, when his uncle too died.  read more »

Der raat teri khushboo mujhse milne aayee,
Teri rooh aur phoolon ki baaten karne aayee.

Kyun Chaand bhi hai bechain aur bekhwaab sa ,
Chaandani bhi tere hi jamaal se sajne aayee .

Jaane tune kya kah diya mere beqaraar dil se,
dharkane mujhse haalat- e- dil puchhane aayee.

Har mod par hum murhmurh kar dekhte rahe,
anjaane raaho me faqat tanhaai milne aayee.

Ham phirte hain zamaane me teri khushboo liye,
tere shahar ki hawaa bhi hamse milne aayee.

Khud se door karne ke jatan to tumne kiye the,
kyu" tasaavvur" me is deewane se milne aayee.  read more »

Roz naye kisse ho gaye,
Dard dil ke hisse ho gaye.

Milta hai wo ajnabi bankar,
Jaane kaise rishte ho gaye.

Manzil nazar aati nahi ,
Naye naye raaste ho gaye.

Jo chahe sajaa le inko ,
khwaab abke saste ho gaye.

Saath parindo ka hua jabse ,
iraadon se ham pakke ho gaye.

.Jabse mila hai saath aaino ka,
ham sirat se sachche ho gaye.

Masoom sawaalo ke talash me,
Hum dil se bachche ho gaye.

Khwaab bhi abke tootne lage,
"tasaavvur" mere kachche ho gaye

Ajnabi rishton se ham maraasim ho gaye,
chali jidhar hawaa udhar musaafir ho gaye.

Utarataa nahi zehan se wabasta khyaal tera,
doobkar aankhon mein ham ghaafil ho gaye.

Kaisa zaadu hai nashe ka teri aankhon mein,
ham to bin piye hi basti mein qaafir ho gaye.

Naam liya hai hamne tera har aati saans par,
Ab dard bhi har dharkan ke muqaabil ho gaye.

Dil me ek lehar si uthi hai abhi,
Dukh ki lehar ne chhera hoga,
Chupke chupke raat di aansoo,
Ham tere shahar me aaye hai musafir ki tarah,
Jinke hotho me hasi paaon me chhale,
and many ghazals are popular,  read more »
