hazāroñ ḳhvāhisheñ aisī ki har ḳhvāhish pe dam nikle

bahut nikle mire armān lekin phir bhī kam nikle

Na Bazm Apni, Na Saqi Apna, Na Sheesha Apna, Na Jam Apna
Agar Yehi Hai Nizami Hasti Tu Ghalib Zindagi Ko Salam Apna

Ham Ko Ma’alom Hai Jannat Ki Hqeqat Lekin
Dil Ke Khush Rakhne Ko Ghalib Yeh Khayal Acha Hai

Kehte Hain Jete Hain Umeed Peh Log
Ham Ko Jene Ki Bhi Umeed Nahi

Meri Qismat Mai Gham Gar Itna Tha
Dil Bi Ya Rab Kai Diye Hote

Ki Wafa Ham Se Tu Ghair Is Ko Jafa Kehte Hain
Hoti Ayi Hai Ke Achon Ko Bura Kehte Hain

Jaate Hoye Kehte Ho Qayamat Ko Milen Gey
Kya Khob Qayamt Ka Hai Goya Koi Din Aur

Hoye Mar Ke Ham Jo Ruswa Hoye Kun Na Gharq Darya
Na Kabi Janaza Uthta Na Kahen Mazar Hota

Ye Dunya Matlab Ki Hai Tum Kis Mukhlis Ki Baat Karte Ho Ghalib
Log Janaza Parhne Aate Hain Wo Bi Apne Sawab Ki Khatir

Bik Raha Hai Junon Mai Kya Kya Kuch
Kuch Na Samjhe Khuda Kare Koi

Heran Hon Tum Ko Masjid Mai Dekh K Ghalib
Aesa Bi Kiya Hoa Ke Khuda Yaad A Gaya

Ji Dhondta Hai Phir Wohi Fursat K Raat Din
Bethe Rahe Taswar Jana Kiye Hoye
