sab kahaaN kuchh laalaa-o-gul mein numaayaaN ho gayeen
Khaak men kyaa suuraten hongii ki pinhaaN ho gayeen
yaad thii hamako bhii rangaa rang bazmaaraaiiyaaN
lekin ab naqsh-o-nigaar-e-taaq-e-nisiyaaN ho gayeen
thiin banaatunnaash-e-garduuN din ko parde men nihaaN
shab ko unake jii men kyaa aaii ki uriyaaN ho gayeen
qaid men yaaquub ne lii go na yuusuf kii Khabar
lekin aaNkhen rauzan-e-diivaar-e-zindaaN ho gayeen
sab raqiibon se ho.n naaKhush, par zanaan-e-misr se
hai zulaiKhaa Khush ke mahv-e-maah-e-kanaaN ho gayeen
juu-e-KhuuN aa.Nkho.n se bahane do ki hai shaam-e-firaaq
main ye samajhuuNgaa ke shamaen ho farozaaN ho gayeen
in pariizaadon se lenge Khuld men ham intaqaam
qudarat-e-haq se yahii huuren agar waaN ho gayeen
neend usakii hai, dimaaG usakaa hai, raaten usakii hain
terii zulfen jisake baazuu par parishaaN ho gayeen
main chaman men kyaa gayaa, goyaa dabistaaN khul gayaa
bul-bulen sun kar mere naale, Gazal_KhvaaN ho gayeen
vo nigaahen kyuuN huii jaatii hain yaarab dil ke paar
jo merii kotaahii-e-qismat se mizshgaaN ho gayeen
bas ki rokaa main ne aur siine men ubharen pai ba pai
merii aahen baKhiyaa-e-chaak-e-gariibaaN ho gayeen
waaN gayaa bhii main to unakii gaaliyon kaa kyaa javaab
yaad thii jitanii duaaen, sarf-e-darbaaN ho gayeen
jaaNfizaa hai baadaa, jisake haath men jaam aa gayaa
sab lakiiren haath kii goyaa rag-e-jaaN ho gayeen
ham muvahihad hain, hamaaraa kesh hai tark-e-ruusuum
millaten jab miT gayeen, ajzaa-e-iimaaN ho gayeen
ranj se Khuugar huaa insaaN to miT jaataa hai ranj
mushkilen mujh par paDi itanii ke aasaaN ho gayeen
yuuN hii gar rotaa rahaa ‘Ghalib’, to ae ahl-e-jahaaN
dekhanaa in bastiyon ko tum ki viiraaN ho gayeen
