kya kya log guzar jate hain rang-birangi caron mein
kyā kyā log guzar jaate haiñ rañg-birañgī caroñ meñ
dil ko thaam ke rah jaate haiñ dil vaale bāzāroñ meñ
ye be-dard zamāna ham se terā dard na chhīn sakā
ham ne dil kī baat kahī hai tīroñ meñ talvāroñ meñ
hoñToñ par aa.heñ kyuuñ hotīñ āñkheñ nis-din kyuuñ rotīñ
koī agar apnā bhī hotā ūñche ohde-dāroñ meñ
sadr-e-mahfil daad jise de daad usī ko miltī hai
haa.e kahāñ ham aan phañse haiñ zālim duniyā-dāroñ meñ
rahne ko ghar bhī mil jaatā chāk-e-jigar bhī sil jaatā
'jālib' tum bhī sher sunāte jā ke agar darbāroñ meñ
kya kya log guzar jate hain rang-birangi caron mein
dil ko tham ke rah jate hain dil wale bazaron mein
ye be-dard zamana hum se tera dard na chhin saka
hum ne dil ki baat kahi hai tiron mein talwaron mein
honTon par aahen kyun hotin aankhen nis-din kyun rotin
koi agar apna bhi hota unche ohde-daron mein
sadr-e-mahfil dad jise de dad usi ko milti hai
hae kahan hum aan phanse hain zalim duniya-daron mein
rahne ko ghar bhi mil jata chaak-e-jigar bhi sil jata
'jalib' tum bhi sher sunate ja ke agar darbaron mein
