Zikr us parii-wash ka, aur phir bayaan apnaa
Ban gaya raqib aakhir thaa jo raazdaan apnaa
Mai wo kyun bahut pite bazm e ghair men yaarab
Aaj hi hua manzoor, un ko imtihaan apna
Manzar ik bulandee par aur ham banaa sakte
‘arsh se udhar hotaa kaash k makaan apnaa
Den vo jis qadar zillat hum hansi men Talenge
Baaray aashna nikla unka paasbaan apna
Dard E dil likhun kab tak? jaaun unko dikhlaa dun
Ungliyaan figaar apni khaamaa khun_chakaan apnaa
Ghiste-ghiste mit jaata aap ne ‘abas badlaa
Nang e sajdaa se mere sang e aastaan apna
Ta kare na ghammazee, kar liya hai dushman ko
Dost kii shikaayat men hum ne hum-zabaan apna
Ham kahaan ke daanaa the? kis hunar men yaktaa the?
Be_sabab huaa ‘Ghalib’ dushman aasmaan apnaa
(GHALIB)
