aabru kya KHak us gul ki ki gulshan mein nahin
aabrū kyā ḳhaak us gul kī ki gulshan meñ nahīñ
hai garebāñ nañg-e-pairāhan jo dāman meñ nahīñ
zof se ai girya kuchh baaqī mire tan meñ nahīñ
rañg ho kar uḌ gayā jo ḳhuuñ ki dāman meñ nahīñ
ho ga.e haiñ jamā ajzā-e-nigāh-e-āftāb
zarre us ke ghar kī dīvāroñ ke rauzan meñ nahīñ
kyā kahūñ tārīki-e-zindān-e-ġham andher hai
pamba nūr-e-sub.h se kam jis ke rauzan meñ nahīñ
raunaq-e-hastī hai ishq-e-ḳhāna vīrāñ saaz se
anjuman be-shamā hai gar barq ḳhirman meñ nahīñ
zaḳhm silvāne se mujh par chārā-juī kā hai taan
ġhair samjhā hai ki lazzat zaḳhm-e-sozan meñ nahīñ
bas-ki haiñ ham ik bahār-e-nāz ke maare hue
jalva-e-gul ke sivā gard apne madfan meñ nahīñ
qatra qatra ik hayūlā hai na.e nāsūr kā
ḳhuuñ bhī zauq-e-dard se fāriġh mire tan meñ nahīñ
le ga.ī saaqī kī naḳhvat qulzum-āshāmī mirī
mauj-e-mai kī aaj rag miinā kī gardan meñ nahīñ
ho fishār-e-zof meñ kyā nā-tavānī kī numūd
qad ke jhukne kī bhī gunjā.ish mire tan meñ nahīñ
thī vatan meñ shaan kyā 'ġhālib' ki ho ġhurbat meñ qadr
be-takalluf huuñ vo musht-e-ḳhas ki gulḳhan meñ nahīñ
aabru kya KHak us gul ki ki gulshan mein nahin
hai gareban nang-e-pairahan jo daman mein nahin
zof se ai girya kuchh baqi mere tan mein nahin
rang ho kar uD gaya jo KHun ki daman mein nahin
ho gae hain jama ajza-e-nigah-e-aftab
zarre us ke ghar ki diwaron ke rauzan mein nahin
kya kahun tariki-e-zindan-e-gham andher hai
pamba nur-e-subh se kam jis ke rauzan mein nahin
raunaq-e-hasti hai ishq-e-KHana viran saz se
anjuman be-shama hai gar barq KHirman mein nahin
zaKHm silwane se mujh par chaara-jui ka hai tan
ghair samjha hai ki lazzat zaKHm-e-sozan mein nahin
bas-ki hain hum ek bahaar-e-naz ke mare hue
jalwa-e-gul ke siwa gard apne madfan mein nahin
qatra qatra ek hayula hai nae nasur ka
KHun bhi zauq-e-dard se farigh mere tan mein nahin
le gai saqi ki naKHwat qulzum-ashami meri
mauj-e-mai ki aaj rag mina ki gardan mein nahin
ho fishaar-e-zof mein kya na-tawani ki numud
qad ke jhukne ki bhi gunjaish mere tan mein nahin
thi watan mein shan kya 'ghaalib' ki ho ghurbat mein qadr
be-takalluf hun wo musht-e-KHas ki gulKHan mein nahin
