mir-o-ghaalib bane yagana bane
'mīr'-o-'ġhālib' bane 'yagānā' bane
aadmī ai ḳhudā ḳhudā na bane
maut kī dastaras meñ kab se haiñ
zindagī kā koī bahāna bane
apnā shāyad yahī thā jurm ai dost
bā-vafā ban ke be-vafā na bane
ham pe ik e'tirāz ye bhī hai
be-navā ho ke be-navā na bane
ye bhī apnā qusūr kyā kam hai
kisī qātil ke ham-navā na bane
kyā gila sañg-dil zamāne kā
āshnā hī jab āshnā na bane
chhoḌ kar us galī ko ai 'jālib'
ik haqīqat se ham fasāna bane
'mir'-o-'ghaalib' bane 'yagana' bane
aadmi ai KHuda KHuda na bane
maut ki dastaras mein kab se hain
zindagi ka koi bahana bane
apna shayad yahi tha jurm ai dost
ba-wafa ban ke be-wafa na bane
hum pe ek e'tiraaz ye bhi hai
be-nawa ho ke be-nawa na bane
ye bhi apna qusur kya kam hai
kisi qatil ke ham-nawa na bane
kya gila sang-dil zamane ka
aashna hi jab aashna na bane
chhoD kar us gali ko ai 'jalib'
ek haqiqat se hum fasana bane
