ibn-e-mariyam huwa kare koee
mere dukh kee dawa kare koee 

shar'a-o-aaeen par madaar sahee 
'eise qaatil ka kya kare koee ? 

chaal, jaise kaDee kamaaN ka teer 
dil meiN 'eise ke jaa kare koee 

baat par waaN zubaan kaT_tee hai 
woh kahaiN aur suna kare koee 

bak rahaa hooN junooN meiN kya kya kuchch 
kuchch na samjhe KHuda kare koee 

na suno gar bura kahe koee 
na kaho gar bura kare koee 

rok lo, gar GHalat chale koee 
baKHsh do gar KHata kare koee 

kaun hai jo naheeN hai haajat_mand ? 
kiskee haajat rawa kare koee 

kya kiyaa KHijr ne sikandar se 
ab kise rehnuma kare koee ? 

jab tavaqqo hee uTh gayee 'GHalib' 
kyoN kisee ka gila kare koee ?
