Umar bhar Ghalib, yehi bhul karta raha,
Dhool Chehre pe thi, aur main aaina saaf karta raha.

    2. This is some amateur poet and not Ghalib.

      With a similar radeef (nahiN raha), Ghalib only has one ghazal in Deewan-e-Ghalib. This has been sung beautifully by Mehdi Hassan.

      Arz-e-niaz-e-ishq kay qabil nahiN raha
      Jis dil peh naaz tha mujhe woh dil nahiN raha

      Marnay kee aye dil aur hee tadbeer kar keh meiN
      Shayaan-e-dast-o-bazoo-e-qaatil nahiN raha

  2. Thanks for the beautiful lines Fawad. So the lines I wrote have been written by a little known poet who used Ghalib's name.
    I'll have to hear the Mehdi Hassan version..
