Muflisi sab bahar khoti hai

Wali Muhammad Wali (1667–1707), also known as Wali Dakhani,, Wali Gujarati and Wali Aurangabadi, was a classical Urdu poet from India.

He is considered by many scholars to be the father of Urdu poetry, being the first established poet to have composed Ghazal in Urdu language and compiled a Divan (a collection of ghazals where the entire alphabet is used at least once as the last letter to define the rhyme pattern).

Before Wali, Indian Ghazals were composed in Persian, almost being replicated in thought and style from the original Persian masters like Saa’di. Jami and Khaganj. Wali began, using not only an Indian language but Indian themes, idioms, and imagery in his Ghazal. It is said that his visit to Delhi in 1700, along with his divan of Urdu ghazals created a ripple in the literary circles of the north, inspiring them to produce stalwarts like Zauq, Sauda and Mir.

 Wali Mohammad Wali  Ghazal

मुफ़्लिसी सब बहार खोती है

मर्द का ए'तिबार खोती है

क्यूँके हासिल हो मुज को जमइय्यत

ज़ुल्फ़ तेरी क़रार खोती है

हर सहर शोख़ की निगह की शराब

मुझ अँखाँ का ख़ुमार खोती है

क्यूँके मिलना सनम का तर्क करूँ

दिलबरी इख़्तियार खोती है

ऐ 'वली' आब उस परी-रू की

मुझ सिने का ग़ुबार खोती है 

Muflisi sab  bahar  khoti  hai

mard ka  etibar  khoti  hai

kyunke hasil  ho  muj ko  jamiyyat

zulf teri  qarar  khoti  hai

har sahar  shokh  ki  nigah  ki  sharab

mujh ankhaa  ka  khumar  khoti  hai

kyunke milna sanam  ka  tark  karun

dilbari iḳhtiyar  khoti  hai

ai Wali aab  us  pari ru ki

mujh sine  ka  ghubar  khoti  hai
