mana-e-dasht nawardi koi tadbir nahin
ek chakkar hai mere paon main zanjir nahin
hasrat-e-lazzat-e-azar rahi jati hai
jadah-e-rah-e-wafa juz dam-e-shamshir nahin
ranj-e-na-ummidi-e-jawed gawara rahiyo
khush hun gar nala zabuni kash-e-tasir nahin
sar khujata hai jahan zakhm-e-sar acha ho jaye
lazzat-e-sang ba-andaza-e-taqrir nahin
jab karam rukhsat-e-bebaki-o-gustakhi de
koi taqsir ba-juz khaslat-e-taqasir nahin
"Ghalib" apna ye aqida hai baqaul-e-nasikh
ap be-behra hain jo motaqid-e-mir nahin
maze jahan k apni nazar mein khak nahi
siway khun-e-jigar, so jigar mein khak nahi
magar gubar hue par hawa ura le jaye
wagarna tab-o-tawan bal-o-par main khak nahi
ye kis bahishtshamail ki amad-amad hai
k gair jalwa-e-gul rahguzar main khak nahi
bhala use na sahi, kuch mujhi ko raham ata
asar mere nafas-e-beasar main khak nahi
khayal-e-jalwa-e-gul se kharab hai maikash
sharabkhane k diwar-o-dar main khak nahi
hua hun ishq ki garatgari se sharminda
siway hasrat-e-tamir ghar main khak nahi
hamare sher hain ab sirf dillagi k 'Asad'
khula k fayeda arz-e-hunar mein khak nahi
milti hai khu-e-yar se nar iltihab mein
kafir hun gar na milti ho rahat azab mein
kab se hun kya bataun jahan-e-kharab mein
shab haye hijr ko bhi rakhun gar hisab mein
ta phir na intazar mein nind aye umr bhar
ane ka ahad kar gaye aye jo khwab main
qasid k ate ate khat ik aur likh rakhun
main janta hun jo wo likhenge jawab mein
mujh tak kab un ki bazm mein ata tha daur-e-jam
saqi ne kuch mila na diya ho sharab mein
jo munkir-e-wafa ho fareb us pe kya chale
kyun badguman hun dost se dushman k bab mein
main muztarib hun wasl mein khauf-e-raqib se
dala hai tum ko wahm ne kis pech-o-tab mein
mai aur hizz-e-wasl, khudasaz bat hai
jan nazr deni bhul gaya iztirab mein
hai tewri chari hui andar naqab k
hai ik shikan pari hui tarf-e-naqab mein
lakhon lagao, ik churna nigah ka
lakhon banao, ik bigrna itab mein
wo nala dil mein khas k barbar jagah na paye
jis nale se shigaf pare afatab mein
wo sehr mudda talbi mein na kam aye
jis sehr se safina rawan ho sarab mein
'Ghalib' chuti sharab, par ab bhi kabhi kabhi
pita hun roz-e-abr-o-shab-e-mahtab mein
muddat hui hai yar ko mahman kiye hue
josh-e-qadah se bazm charagan kiye hue
karta hun jama phir jigar-e-lakht-lakht ko
arsa hua hai dawat-e-mizshgan kiye hue
phir waza-e-ehtiyat se rukne laga hai dam
barason hue hain chak gireban kiye hue
phir garmnala haye shararbar hai nafas
muddat hui hai sair-e-charagan kiye hue
phir pursish-e-jarahat-e-dil ko chala hai ishq
saman-e-sadhzar namakdan kiye hue
phir bhar raha hun khama-e-mizshgan bakhun-e-dil
saz-e-chamantarazi-e-daman kiye hue
bahamdigar hue hain dil-o-dida phir raqib
nazara-o-khayal ka saman kiye hue
dil phir tawaf-e-ku-e-malamat ko jaye hai
pindar ka sanam kada wiran kiye hue
phir shauq kar raha hai kharidar ki talab
arz-e-mata-e-aql-o-dil-o-jan kiye hue
daude hai phir har ek gul-o-lala par khayal
sadgulsitan nigah ka saman kiye hue
phir chahta hun nama-e-dildar kholna
jan nazar-e-dilfarebi-e-unwan kiye hue
mange hai phir kisi ko lab-e-bam par hawas
zulf-e-siyah rukh pe pareshan kiye hue
chahe phir kisi ko muqabil mein arzu
surme se tez dashna-e-mizshgan kiye hue
ik naubahar-e-naz ko tak hai phir nigah
chehra furog-e-mai se gulistan kiye hue
phir ji mein hai k dar pe kisi k pare rahen
sar zer bar-e-minnat-e-darban kiye hue
ji dhundta hai phir wahi fursat k rat din
baithe rahen tasawur-e-janan kiye hue
'Ghalib' hamain na cher k phir josh-e-ashk se
baithe hain ham tahayya-e-tufan kiye hue
na hui gar mere marne se tasalli na sahi
imtihan aur bhi baqi ho to ye bhi na sahi
khar-khar-e-alam-e-hasrat-e-didar to hai
shauq gulshin-e-gulistan-e-tasalli na sahi
may parastan khum-e-may munh se lagaye hi bane
ek din gar na hua bazm mein saqi na sahi
nafaz-e-qais k hai chashm-o-charag-e-sahra
gar nahi shama-e-siyahakhana-e-laila na sahi
ek hangame pe maukuf hai ghar ki raunak
noh-e-gam hi sahi, nagma-e-shadi na sahi
na sataish ki tamanna na sile ki parwah
gar nahi hai mere ashar mein mane na sahi
ishrat-e-sohabat-e-khuban hi ganimat samjho
na hui "Ghalib" agar umr-e-tabii na sahi
na tha kuch to Khuda tha, kuch na hota to Khuda hota
duboya mujh ko hone ne, na hota main to kya hota
hua jab gam se yun behis to gam kya sar k katne ka
na hota gar juda tan se to zannon par dhara hota
hui muddat k 'Ghalib' mar gaya par yad ata hai
wo har ek bat pe kahna k yun hota to kya hota
nahi k mujhko qayamat ka etiqad nahi
shab-e-firaq se roz-e-jaza ziyad nahi
koi kahe k shab-e-mah mein kya burai hai
bala se aj agar din ko abr-o-bad nahi
jo aun samne un k to marhaba na kahen
jo jaun wan se kahin ko, to khairabad nahi
kabhi jo yad bhi ata hun main to kahte hain
k aj bazm mein kuch fitna-o-fasad nahi
alawa eid k milti hai aur din bhi sharab
gada-e-kucha-e-maikhana namurad nahi
jahan mein ho gam-o-shadi baham, hamein kya kam
diya hai hamko Khuda ne wo dil k shad nahi
tum un k wade zikr un se kyun karo "Ghalib"
ye kya k tum kaho aur wo kahen k yad nahi
naqsh faryadi hai kis ki shokhi-e-tahrir ka
kagzi hai pairahan har paikar-e-taswir ka
kawe-kawe sakhtjani haye tanhai na puch
subah karna sham ka lana hai ju-e-shir ka
jazba-e-beikhtiyar-e-shauq dekha chahiye
sina-e-shamshir se bahar hai dam shamshir ka
agahi dam-e-shunidan jis qadar chahe bichaye
mudda anqa hai apne alam-e-taqrir ka
bas k hun 'Ghalib' asiri mein bhi atish zar-e-pa
mu-e-atishdida hai halqa meri zanjir ka
nuktachin hai gam-e-dil us ko sunaye na bane
kya bane bat jahan bat banaye na bane
main bulata to hun us ko magar ae jazba-e-dil
us pe ban jaye kuch aisi k bin aye na bane
khel samjha hai kahin chor na de, bhul na jaye
kash yun bhi ho k bin mere sataye na bane
gair phirta hai lie yun tere khat ko k agar
koi puche k ye kya hai to chupaye na bane
is nazakat ka bura ho wo bhale hain to kya
hath ayen to unhen hath lagaye na bane
kah sak kaun k ye jalwagari kis ki hai
parda chora hai wo usne k uthaye na bane
maut ki rah na dekhun k bin aye na rahe
tum ko chahun k na ao to bulaye na bane
bojh wo sar pe gira hai k uthaye na uthe
kam wo an para hai ki banaye na bane
ishq par zor nahi, hai ye wo atish 'Ghalib'
k lagye na lage aur bujhaye na bane
phir is andaz se bahar ai
k huye mehar-o-mah tamashai
dekho ai sakinan-e-khita-e-khak
is ko kahte hain alam-arai
k zamin ho gai hai sar ta sar
ruksh-e-sathe charkhe minai
sabze ko jab kahin jagah na mili
ban gaya ru-e-ab par kai
sabz-o-gul k dekhne k liye
chashm-e-nargis ko di hai binai
hai hawa main sharab ki tasir
badnoshi hai bad paimai
kyun na duniya ko ho khushi "Ghalib"
shah-e-dindar ne shifa pai
