My husband loves the third sher and I like the fourth better. Although all of them are classics.
I love this one too-
Mohobbat main nahin hai farq jine aur marne ka,
Usi ko dekh kar jeete hain jis kafir pe dam nikle.
what do ya knw i also like the 4th one better. the thougt is simply amazing infact the whole ghazal is. Ghalib was freaking brilliant.
