Ghalib's Ghazal

[il_...@yahoo.com]

Stumbled upon a post where the writer requested other verses from a
ghazal by Ghalib. I do not know whether anybody else fulfilled the
request. In any case, some other verses from this ghazal are being
given below:

"Huzoor-e-shah men ahl-e-sukhan ki aazmaish hai
Chaman men khush-nawayaan-e-chaman ki aazmaish hai

Karenge koh-kan ke hausle ka imtihaan aakhir
Hanooz us khasta ke nerooyetan ki aazmaish hai

Naseem-e-Misr ko kya peer-e-kanaan ki hawa-khwahi
Use Yousuf ke boo-e-pairhan ki aazmaish hai

Woh aaya bazm men, dekho, na kahiyo phir ke ghaafil hai
Shakeb-o-sabr-e-ahl-e-anjuman ki aazmaish hai

Rahe dil hi men teer achchha, jigar ke paar ho behtar
Gharaz shast-e-but-e-navak figan ki aazmaish hai

Para rah ai dil-wabasta betaabi se kya haasil
Magar phir taab-e-zulf-e-pur shikan ki aazmaish hai

Woh aayenge tere ghar waada kaisa dekhna Ghalib
Naye fitnon men ab charkh-e-kuhan ki aazmaish hai

In the first sher quoted in the original post, the correct
word is "daar-o-rasan", not "taar-o-rasan".
