Uske nibhne ke kuchh nahin asbab

us ke nibhne ke kuchh nahin asbab
wo taghaful-shiar main be-tab

wajib-ul-qatl hai dil-e-betab
kushta hona hi KHub hai simab

abr ki tirgi mein hum ko to
sujhta kuchh nahin siwae sharab

apni kashti ka hai KHuda-hafiz
pichhe tufan hai samne girdab

bosa manga to ye jawab mila
sikhiye pahle ishq ke aadab

us ko phirta hai DhunDhta har-su
kyun kar aankhon se uD na jae KHwab

dard-e-ulfat jo hote hi marte
ye aziyyat na khinchte ahbab

nahin mumkin ki jama hon donon
saqi-e-mehr-wash shab-e-mahtab

samne us ke jo Thahar jaen
nahin be-tabiyon ko itni tab

ahl-e-alam se chahta hun wafa
us ka talib hun jo ki hai nayab

ishq ke sath hi gae dil-o-din
aa gai sail bah gaya asbab

saf fiqre hun aur hamin par hon
shewa achchha to hai mera aadab

hoti gar is jahan mein kuchh KHubi
kahte kyun phir sifat mein is ki KHarab

aazmana na dil ko saKHti se
TuT jae na ye dur-e-nayab

kis tarah bahr-e-ishq se niklun
ye to dariya kahin nahin payab

shoala-e-husn tera kya kahna
phunk de us ke parda-ha-e-hijab

us ki shoKHi ka hai tajjub kya
husn ye kuchh aur us pe ain shabab

'ghaalib' aae hain lao ai 'majruh'
baada-e-nab mein mila ke gulab
