Aaiinaa kyuuN na duuN K tamaashaa kaheN jise
Aisaa kahaaN se laauuN K tujhsaa kaheN jise

Hasrat ne laa rakhaa terii bazm-E-Khayaal meN
Guldastaa-E-nigaah suvedaa kahe.n jise

PhuuNkaa hai kisane gosh E muhabbat meN ai Khudaa
Afasuun-E-intazaar E tamannaa kaheN jise

Sar par hujuum-E-dard-E-Ghariibii se Daliye
Vo ek musht-E-Khaak K seharaa kaheN jise

Hai chashm-E-tar meN hasarat-E-diidaar se nihaaN
Shauq-E-inaaN guseKhtaa dariyaa kaheN jise

Darakaar hai shiguftan-E-gul haaye aish ko
Subh-E-bahaar pa.nbaa-E-miinaa kaheN jise

“Ghalib” buraa na maan jo vaaiz buraa kahe
Aisaa bhii koii hai K sab achchhaa kaheN jise
