Roman Urdu is sometimes a little difficult. Can you explain this in simple English too. It will be helpful for many.
Ghalib was Shia. Everybody knows it. So what is surprising and this is expected stuff.
BTW I am a great fan of Ghalib as a poet and I think he is the best urdu poet of all times. But this is definitely not one of his classic and famous compositions.

**dono ki nigahon main furqat k gillay hongay
honto pay tabassum kay kuch phool khilay hongay
Kaabay say koi poochay uss wasal kay manzar ko
jab noor kay do tukray aapas main milay hongay
kis sher kee aamad hay kay ran kaanp raha hay
rustam ka jigar zairay kafan kanp raha hay
har qasre salateeney zaman kanp raha hay
sab eik taraf naqshay kohan kanp raha hay
shamsheer bakaf dekh kay Haider (a.s) kay pisar ko
Jibreel (a.s) laraztay hein samaitay huay par ko

ISLAM K DAMAN MEIN BAS DO HI TO CHEEZEIN HEIN
IK ZARB-E-YADULAI, IK SAJDA-E-SHABBIRRY!
Explanation:
There are two memorable things in islam, one is the great Ali’s sword “Zarb’s” and on is the sacrificial Sajda of Imam Hussain for the sake of Islam!
I think this one is also by Iqbal!

batil kee saazishon ko kuchaltay rahaingay hum
jab tak rahay ga haath mein parcham Huseein (a.s) ka
qasre yazidiat kee dararon say pooch lo
tareekh-e-inqilab hay matam Hussein (a.s) ka

Barhtee hay barhami see zara noor-e-ain mein
Milta hay iztiraab yuñhee dil kay cháin mein
Sailaab dekhta huñ to aata hay yeh khial
Pani bhatak raha hay talash-e-Hussein (a.s) mein
