aina kyun na dun k tamasha kahen jise
aisa kahan se laun k tujhsa kahen jise

hasrat ne la rakha teri bazm-e-khayal mein
guldasta-e-nigah suweda kahen jise

phunka hai kisne goshe muhabbat mein ai Khuda
afsun-e-intazar tamanna kahen jise

sar par hujum-e-dard-e-garibi se daliye
wo ek musht-e-khak k sahra kahen jise

hai chashm-e-tar mein hasrat-e-didar se nihan
shauq-e-inan gusekhta dariya kahen jise

darkar hai shiguftan-e-gul haye aish ko
subh-e-bahar panba-e-mina kahen jise

?ghalib? bura na man jo waiz bura kahe
aisa bhi koi hai k sab acha kahen jise
