haT jaen ab ye shams-o-qamar darmiyan se
haT jaa.eñ ab ye shams-o-qamar darmiyān se
merī zamīñ milegī gale āsmān se
siine meñ haiñ ḳhalā ke vo mahfūz aaj bhī
jo harf adā hue haiñ hamārī zabān se
vo mere hī qabīle kā bāġhī na ho kahīñ
ik tiir idhar ko aayā hai jis kī kamān se
sayyād ne kiyā hai usī ko asīr-e-dām
taa.ir jo dil-girafta rahā hai uḌaan se
nākāmiyoñ ne aur baḌhā.e haiñ hausle
guzrā huuñ jab kabhī maiñ kisī imtihān se
kahlā.e jis meñ rah ke hamesha kirāya-dār
kyā uns ho makīn ko aise makān se
kyuuñ pairvī pe un kī ho maa.il mirā dimāġh
'ġhālib' ke huuñ na 'mīr' ke maiñ ḳhāndān se
'rāġhib' ba-ehtiyāt hī lāzim hai guftugū
dushman ko bhī gazand na pahuñche zabān se
haT jaen ab ye shams-o-qamar darmiyan se
meri zamin milegi gale aasman se
sine mein hain KHala ke wo mahfuz aaj bhi
jo harf ada hue hain hamari zaban se
wo mere hi qabile ka baghi na ho kahin
ek tir idhar ko aaya hai jis ki kaman se
sayyaad ne kiya hai usi ko asir-e-dam
tair jo dil-girafta raha hai uDan se
nakaamiyon ne aur baDhae hain hausle
guzra hun jab kabhi main kisi imtihan se
kahlae jis mein rah ke hamesha kiraya-dar
kya uns ho makin ko aise makan se
kyun pairwi pe un ki ho mail mera dimagh
'ghaalib' ke hun na 'mir' ke main KHandan se
'raghib' ba-ehtiyat hi lazim hai guftugu
dushman ko bhi gazand na pahunche zaban se
