dil-e-naadaaN tujhe huaa kya hai ?
aaKHir is dard kee dawa kya hai 

 
ham haiN mushtaaq aur woh bezaar
ya ilaahee ! yeh maajra kya hai ? 

 
maiN bhee muNh meiN zabaan rakhta hooN
kaash ! poocho ki "muddaa kya hai" ? 

 
jab ki tujh bin naheeN koee maujood
fir ye hangaama, 'ei KHuda ! kya hai 

ye paree chehara log kaise haiN ?
GHamza-o-ishwa-o-'adaa kya hai ? 

 

shikan-e-zulf-e-ambaree kyoN hai ?
nigah-e-chashm-e-soorma sa kya hai ? 



sabja-o-gul kahaaN se aaye haiN ?
abr kya cheez hai, hawa kya hai ? 



hamko unse wafa ki hai ummeed
jo naheeN jaante wafa kya hai 

"haaN bhala kar tera bhala hoga"
aur darvesh kee sada kya hai ? 

 

jaan tum par nisaar karta hooN
maiN naheeN jaanata duaa kya hai 

maiNe maana ki kuchch naheeN 'GHalib'
muft haath aaye to bura kya hai ?
