kisi ko dek dil koi nawsanj-e-fugan kyon ho
na ho jab dil hi sine main to phir munh main zuban kyon ho

wo apni khu na chorenge ham apni waza kyon badlen
subuksar banak kya puchen k ham se sargiran kyon ho

kiya gamkhwar ne ruswa lage ag is muhabbat ko
na laye tab jo gam ki wo mera razdan kyon ho

wafa kaisi kahan ka ishq jab sar phorna thahra
to phir ai sangdil tera hi sang-e-astan kyon ho

qafas mein mujh se rudad-e-chaman kahte na dar hamdam
giri hai jis pe kal bijli wo mera ashiyan kyon ho

ye kah sakte ho ham dil mein nahi hain par ye batao
k jab dil main tumhin tum ho to ankhon se nihan kyon ho

galat hai jazba-e-dil ka shikawa dekho jurm kiska hai
na khincho gar tum apne ko kashakash darmiyan kyon ho

ye fitna admi ki khanawirani ko kya kam hai
hue tum dost jisk dushman uska asman kyon ho

yahi hai azmana to satana kis ko kahte hain
adu k ho liye jab tum to mera imtihan kyon ho

kaha tumne k kyon ho gair k milne mein ruswai
baja kahte ho sach kahte ho phir kahiyo k han kyon ho

nikla chahta hai kam kya tanon se tu “Ghalib”
tere bemahar kahne se wo tujh par meharban kyon ho

ki wafa hamse to gair use jafa kahte hain
hoti ai hai k achon ko bura kahte hain

aj ham apni pareshani-e-khatir un se
kahne jate to hain, par dekhiye kya kahte hain

agle waqton k hain ye log, inhen kuch na kaho
jo may-o-nagmein ko andohruba kahte hain

dil mein a jae hai, hoti hai jo fursat gash se
aur phir kaun se nale ko rasa kahte hain?

hai par-e-sarhad-e-idrak se apna masjud
qible ko, ahal-e-nazar, qiblanuma kahte hain

pa-e-afgar pe jab se tujhe raham aya hai
khar-e-rah ko tere ham mehr-e-giya kahte hain

ik sharar dil mein hai, us se koi ghabrayga kya
ag matalub hai hamako, jo hawa kahate hain

dekhiye lati hai us shokh ki nakhwat kya rang
us ki har bat pe ham nam-e-Khuda khate hain

wehshat-o-shefta ab marsiya kahwen shayad
mar gaya “Ghalib”-e-ashuftanawa kahte hain

kahte ho na denge ham dil agar para paya
dil kahan k gum kije hamne muddaa paya

ishq se tabiat ne zist ka maza paya
dard ki dawa pai dard-e-bedawa paya

dostdar-e-dushman hai etimad-e-dil malum
ah beasar dekhi nala narasa paya

sadagi-o-purkari bekhudi-o-hoshiyari
husn ko tagaful main juraat azama paya

guncha phir laga khilne aj ham ne apna dil
khun kiya hua dekha gum kiya hua paya

hal-e-dil nahin malum lekin is qadar yani
ham ne bara dhunda tum ne bara paya

shor-e-pand-e-naseh ne zakhm par namak chirka
ap se koi puche tum ne kya maza paya

kabhi neki bhi us k ji main a jaye hai mujhse
jafayen kark apni yad sharma jaye hai mujhse

Khudaya! Jazba-e-dil ki magar tasir ulti hai
k jitna khenchta hun aur khinchta jaye hai mujhse

wo bad khu aur meri dastan-e-ishq tulani
ibarat mukhtasar, qasid bhi ghabra jaye hai mujhse

udhar wo badgumani hai, idhar ye natawani hai
na pucha jaye hai usse, na bola jaye hai mujhse

sanbhalne de mujhe ae naumidi, kya qayamat hai
k damane khayale yar chuta jaye hai mujhse

takalluf bar taraf nazzaragi mein bhi sahi, lekin
wo dekha jaye, kab ye zulm dekha jaye hai mujhse

hue hain paon hi pahle nabard-e-ishq mein zakhmi
na bhaga jaye hai mujhse, na thahra jaye hai mujhse

qayamat hai k hoe muddai ka hamsafar Ghalib
wo kafir, jo Khuda ko bhi na saunpa jaye hai mujhse

kab wo sunta hai kahani meri
aur phir wo bhi zabani meri

khalish-e-gamza-e-khunrez na puch
dekh khunbafishani meri

kya bayan kar k mera royege yar
magar ashufta-bayani meri

hun zikhud rafta-e-baida-e-khayal
bhul jana hai nishani meri

mutaqabil hai muqabil mera
ruk gaya dekh rawani meri

qadr-e-sang-e-sar-e-rah rakhta hun
sakht arzan hai girani meri

dahan us ka jo na malum hua
khul gai hao chamandani meri

kar diya zof ne ajiz “Ghalib”
nang-e-piri hai jawani meri

ishq tasir se naumed nahi
jan supari shajr-e-bed nahi

sultnat dast-ba-dast ai hai
jam-e-mai khatam-e-jamshed nahi

hai tajalli teri samne wajud
jara be partawe khurshid nahi

raz-e-mashuq na ruswa ho jaye
warna mar jane mein kuch bhed nahi

gardish-e-rang-e-tarab se dar hai
gam-e-mahrumi-e-jawed nahi

kahte hain jite hain ummid pe log
ham ko jine ki bhi ummid nahi

ishq mujhko nahi wahshat hi sahi
meri wahshat teri shohrat hi sahi

qata kije na talluq ham se
kuch nahi hai to adawat hi sahi

mere hone mein hai kya ruswai
ye wo majlis nahi khalwat hi sahi

ham bhi dushman to nahi hain apne
gair ko tujh se mohabbat hi sahi

apni hasti hi se ho jo kuch ho
agahi gar nahi gaflat hi sahi

umr har chand ki hai barq-e-khiram
dil k khun karne ki fursat hi sahi

ham koi tarq-e-wafa karte hain
na sahi ishq musibat hi sahi

kuch to de ai falak-e-nainsaf
ah-o-fariyad ki rukhsat hi sahi

ham bhi taslim ki khu dalenge
beniyazi teri adat hi sahi

yar se cheda chali jaye “Asad”
gar nahi wasl to hasrat hi sahi

ibn-e-mariym hua kare koi
mere dukh ki dawa kare koi

shura-o-ain par madar sahi
aise qatil ka kya kare koi

chal jaise kadi kaman ka tir
dil main aise k ja kare koi

bat par wan zuban katti hai
wo kahen aur suna kare koi

bak raha hun junun main kya kya kuch
kuch na samjhe Khuda kare koi

na suno gar bura kahe koi
na kaho gar bura kare koi

rok lo gar galat chale koi
bakhsh do gar khata kare koi

kaun hai jo nahi hai hajatmand
kiski hajat rawa kare koi

kya kiya khijr ne sikandar se
ab kise rahnuma kare koi

jab tawaqqo hi uth gayi “Ghalib”
kyon kisi ka gila kare koi

husn gamze k kashakash se chuta mere bad
bare aram se hai ahl-e-jafa mere bad

mansab-e-sheftagi k koi qabil na raha
hui mazuli-e-andaz-o-ada mere bad

shama bujhti hai to us mein se dhuan uthta hai
shola-e-ishq siyahposh hua mere bad

khun hai dil khak mein ahwal-e-butan par, yani
unk nakhun hue mohtaj-e-hina mere bad

darkhur-e-arz nahi jauhar-e-bedad ko ja
nigah-e-naz hai surme se khafa mere bad

hai junun ahl-e-junun k liye agosh-e-wida
chaq hota hai gareban se juda mere bad

kaun hota hai harif-e-mai-e-mard-afgan-e-ishq
hai mukarrar lab-e-saqi pe sala mere bad

gam se mata hun k itna nahi dunya mein koi
k kare taziyat-e-mehar-o-wafa mere bad

aye hai bekasi-e-ishq pe rona ‘Ghalib’
kisk ghar jayega sailab-e-bala mere bad

husn-e-mah garche bahangam-e-kamal acha hai
us se mera mah-e-khurshid-e-jamal acha hai

bosa dete nahi aur dil pe hai har lahja nigah
ji mein kahte hain muft aye to mal acha hai

aur bazar se le ayen agar tut gaya
sagar-e-jam se mera jam-e-sifal acha hai

betalab den to maza usmen siwa milta hai
wo gada jisko na ho khu-e-sawal acha hai

un k dekhe se jo a jati hai munh par raunaq
wo samajhte hain k bimar ka hal acha hai

dekhiye pate hain ushshaq buton se kya faiz
ik birahman ne kaha hai k ye sal acha hai

hamsukhan teshe ne farhad ko shirin se kiya
jis tarah ka bhi kisi mein ho kamal acha hai

qatra darya mein jo mil jaye to darya ho jaye
kam acha hai wo jiska maal acha hai

khijr sultan ko rakhe khaliq-e-akbar sarsabz
shah k bag main ye taza nihal acha hai

hamko malum hai jannat ki haqiqat lekin
dil k khush rakhne ko Ghalib ye khayal acha hai
