Kaisa chaman ki humse aseeron ko man’a hai,
chaak-e-qafas se bhag ki deewar dekhna.

Be-dar-o-deewar sa ik ghar banaya chahiye,
koi humsaya na ho aur paasbaan koi na ho.

Ug raha hai dar-o-deewar se sabza ‘Ghalib’,
hum bayabaan mein hain aur ghar mein bahaar aayee hai.

Kabhi deewar uthata hoon, kabhi main dar banata hoon,
yuhin main abr-e-baraan mein khandar ko ghar banata hoon.
