hai bas k har ik un k ishare mein nishan aur
karte hain muhabbat to guzarta hai guman aur

ya rab wo na samjhe hain na samajhenge meri bat
de aur dil un ko jo na de mujhko zuban aur

abaru se hai kya us nigah -e-naz ko paiband
hai tir muqarrar magar us ki hai kaman aur

tum shahar mein ho to hamein kya gam jab uthenge
le ayenge bazar se jakar dil-o-jan aur

har chand subukdast hue butshikni mein
ham hain to abhi rah mein hai sang-e-giran aur

hai khun-e-jigar josh mein dil khol k rota
hote kai jo dida-e-khunnabafishan aur

marta hun is awaz pe har chand sar ur jaye
jalad ko lekin wo kahe jaye k han aur

logon ko hai khurshid-e-jahan tab ka dhoka
har roz dikhata hun main ik dag-e-nihan aur

leta na agar dil tumhen deta koi dam chain
karta jo na marta koi din ah-o-fugan aur

pate nahi jab rah to char jate hain nale
rukti hai meri taba to hoti hai rawan aur

hain aur bhi duniya mein sukhanawar bahut ache
kahte hain ki 'Ghalib' ka hai andaz-e-bayan aur
