ghaalib

bayān-e-'ġhālib'-e-rañgīñ-navā hai

qalam shā.ir kā sajde meñ jhukā hai

pa.e tāzīm saf-basta haiñ alfāz

dil-e-shā.ir meñ ik tūfāñ bapā hai

aqīdat us se har ahl-e-nazar ko

ki vo fikr-o-nazar kā rahnumā hai

vo ġhālib vo shahanshāh-e-ma.ānī

vo 'ġhālib' jis kī azmat ġhair-fānī

salāsat aur fasāhat allāh allāh

ki dariyā-e-suḳhan māñge ravānī

bahut ustād-e-shah the aur hoñge

magar hogā na koī us kā saanī

zarāfat us kī fitrat kā taqāza

matānat us ke fikr-o-fan kā jauhar

mohabbat ruuh us kī shā.irī kī

kahāñ hoñge bhalā aise suḳhnavar

zamāna kis liye us ko miTātā

vo insāñ thā na thā harf-e-mukarrar

zabāñ us kī zabān-e-zindagī hai

bayāñ us kā bayān-e-āgahī hai

bayan-e-'ghaalib'-e-rangin-nawa hai

qalam shair ka sajde mein jhuka hai

pae tazim saf-basta hain alfaz

dil-e-shair mein ek tufan bapa hai

aqidat us se har ahl-e-nazar ko

ki wo fikr-o-nazar ka rahnuma hai

wo ghaalib wo shahanshah-e-maani

wo 'ghaalib' jis ki azmat ghair-fani

salasat aur fasahat allah allah

ki dariya-e-suKHan mange rawani

bahut ustad-e-shah the aur honge

magar hoga na koi us ka sani

zarafat us ki fitrat ka taqaza

matanat us ke fikr-o-fan ka jauhar

mohabbat ruh us ki shairi ki

kahan honge bhala aise suKHnawar

zamana kis liye us ko miTata

wo insan tha na tha harf-e-mukarrar

zaban us ki zaban-e-zindagi hai

bayan us ka bayan-e-agahi hai
