aaiinaa kyuuN na duuN ke tamaashaa kahen jise

aisaa kahaaN se laauuN ke tujhasaa kahen jise

hasarat ne laa rakhaa terii bazm-e-Khayaal men

vo ek musht-e-Khaak ke saharaa 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

sub_h-e-bahaar panbaa-e-miinaa kahen jise

"Ghalib" buraa na maan jo vaaiz buraa kahe

aisaa bhii koii hai ke sab achchhaa kahen jis
