Ghaalib

balli-maran ke mohalle ki wo pechida dalilon ki si galiyan
samne Tal ke nukkaD pe beDon ke qaside

chand darwazon pe laTke hue bosida se kuchh TaT ke parde
aur dhundlai hui sham ke be-nur andhere sae

aise diwaron se munh joD kar chalte hain yahan
chuDi-walan kaTre ki baDi-bi jaise

apni bujhti hui aankhon se darwaze TaTole
is be-nur andheri si gali-qasim se

ek tartib charaghon ki shurua hoti hai
ek quran-e-suKHan ka bhi waraq khulta hai

asadullah-KHan-'ghaalib' ka pata milta hai
