sadgi par uski mar jaane ki hasrat dil mein hai

sādgī par us kī mar jaane kī hasrat dil meñ hai

bas nahīñ chaltā ki phir ḳhanjar kaf-e-qātil meñ hai

dekhnā taqrīr kī lazzat ki jo us ne kahā

maiñ ne ye jaanā ki goyā ye bhī mere dil meñ hai

garche hai kis kis burā.ī se vale bā.īñ-hama

zikr merā mujh se behtar hai ki us mahfil meñ hai

bas hujūm-e-nā-umīdī ḳhaak meñ mil jā.egī

ye jo ik lazzat hamārī sa.ī-e-be-hāsil meñ hai

rañj-e-rah kyuuñ khīñchiye vāmāndagī ko ishq hai

uTh nahīñ saktā hamārā jo qadam manzil meñ hai

jalva zār-e-ātish-e-dozaḳh hamārā dil sahī

fitna-e-shor-e-qayāmat kis ke āb-o-gil meñ hai

hai dil-e-shorīda-e-'ġhālib' tilism-e-pech-o-tāb

rahm kar apnī tamannā par ki kis mushkil meñ hai

sadgi par us ki mar jaane ki hasrat dil mein hai

bas nahin chalta ki phir KHanjar kaf-e-qatil mein hai

dekhna taqrir ki lazzat ki jo us ne kaha

main ne ye jaana ki goya ye bhi mere dil mein hai

garche hai kis kis burai se wale bain-hama

zikr mera mujh se behtar hai ki us mahfil mein hai

bas hujum-e-na-umidi KHak mein mil jaegi

ye jo ek lazzat hamari sai-e-be-hasil mein hai

ranj-e-rah kyun khinchiye wamandagi ko ishq hai

uTh nahin sakta hamara jo qadam manzil mein hai

jalwa zar-e-atish-e-dozaKH hamara dil sahi

fitna-e-shor-e-qayamat kis ke aab-o-gil mein hai

hai dil-e-shorida-e-'ghaalib' tilism-e-pech-o-tab

rahm kar apni tamanna par ki kis mushkil mein hai
