jhankar hai maujon ki bahte hue pani se

jhankār hai maujoñ kī bahte hue paanī se

zanjīr machal jaa.e qadmoñ kī ravānī se

ik mauj-e-sabā bhejūñ afkār ke zindāñ ko

jo lafz chhuḌā laa.e pur-pech ma.ānī se

kitnī hai paḌī mushkil din phirte haiñ āḳhir meñ

maiñ ne ye sabaq sīkhā bachchoñ kī kahānī se

tafsīl se likkhā thā jab naama mohabbat kā

'ġhālib' ko ġharaz kyā thī paiġhām-e-zabānī se

jī kartā hai mar jaa.eñ ab lauT ke ghar jaa.eñ

jannat kā ḳhayāl aa.e gandum kī girānī se

ḳhushbū ko uḌāne meñ ye raat kī chorī kyuuñ

pūchhe to koī jā kar us raat kī raanī se

kis darja munāfiq haiñ sab ahl-e-havas 'sāqib'

andar se to patthar haiñ aur lagte haiñ paanī se

jhankar hai maujon ki bahte hue pani se

zanjir machal jae qadmon ki rawani se

ek mauj-e-saba bhejun afkar ke zindan ko

jo lafz chhuDa lae pur-pech maani se

kitni hai paDi mushkil din phirte hain aaKHir mein

main ne ye sabaq sikha bachchon ki kahani se

tafsil se likkha tha jab nama mohabbat ka

'ghaalib' ko gharaz kya thi paigham-e-zabani se

ji karta hai mar jaen ab lauT ke ghar jaen

jannat ka KHayal aae gandum ki girani se

KHushbu ko uDane mein ye raat ki chori kyun

puchhe to koi ja kar us raat ki rani se

kis darja munafiq hain sab ahl-e-hawas 'saqib'

andar se to patthar hain aur lagte hain pani se
