dil hi to hai na sang-o-khisht dard se bhar na aye kyun
roenge ham hazar bar koi hamein sataye kyun

dair nahi haram nahi dar nahi astan nahi
baithe hain rahguzar pe ham gair hamein uthaye kyun

jab wo jamal-e-dilfaroz, surat-e-mahr-e-nimaroz
ap hi ho nazrasoz, parde mein munh chupaye kyun

dashna-e-gamza jansitan, nawak-e-naz bepanah
tera hi aks-e-rukh sahi, samane tere aye kyun

qaid-e-hayat-o-band-e-gam asl mein donon ek hain
maut se pahle admi gam se najat paye kyun

husn aur us pe husn-e-zan rah gai bulahawas ki sharm
apne pe etimad hai gair ko azamaye kyun

wan wo guroor-e-izz-o-naz yan ye hijab-e-pas waza
rah mein ham milen kahan, bazm mein wo bulayen kyun

han wo nahi khudaparast, jao wo bewafa sahi
jisko ho din-o-dil aziz, us ki gali mein jaye kyun

"ghalib"-e-khasta k bagair kaun se kam band hain
roie zar-zar kya, kijie haye-haye kyun
