koi to shakl mohabbat mein sazgar aae

koī to shakl mohabbat meñ sāzgār aa.e

hañsī nahīñ hai to rone se hī qarār aa.e

hai ek ne.amat-e-uzmā ġham-e-mohabbat bhī

magar ye shart ki insāñ ko sāzgār aa.e

junūn-e-dasht-pasandī batā.e detā hai

guzārnī thī jo ghar meñ vo ham guzār aa.e

guzārnī hai mujhe umr tere qadmoñ meñ

mujhe na kyuuñ tire va.adoñ pe e'tibār aa.e

tumhārī bazm se aa kar vahī ḳhayāl rahā

ham ek baar ga.e tum hazār baar aa.e

nigāh-e-dost koī aur baat hai varna

tū be-qarār kare aur mujhe qarār aa.e

hai mutma.in bhī to kis kis umīd-o-bīm ke saath

vo nā-murād jise lutf-e-intizār aa.e

batā ga.ī hai jo mujh ko vo be-qarār nigāh

na kah sakūñgā agar aaj bhī qarār aa.e

ye imtiyāz hai 'ġhālib' ke ba.ad 'ālī' kā

ki jis pe aap mare haiñ use bhī maar aa.e

koi to shakl mohabbat mein sazgar aae

hansi nahin hai to rone se hi qarar aae

hai ek neamat-e-uzma gham-e-mohabbat bhi

magar ye shart ki insan ko sazgar aae

junun-e-dasht-pasandi batae deta hai

guzarni thi jo ghar mein wo hum guzar aae

guzarni hai mujhe umr tere qadmon mein

mujhe na kyun tere wadon pe e'tibar aae

tumhaari bazm se aa kar wahi KHayal raha

hum ek bar gae tum hazar bar aae

nigah-e-dost koi aur baat hai warna

tu be-qarar kare aur mujhe qarar aae

hai mutmain bhi to kis kis umid-o-bim ke sath

wo na-murad jise lutf-e-intizar aae

bata gai hai jo mujh ko wo be-qarar nigah

na kah sakunga agar aaj bhi qarar aae

ye imtiyaz hai 'ghaalib' ke baad 'ali' ka

ki jis pe aap mare hain use bhi mar aae
