    mushā.ere meñ jo shā.er bulā.e jaate haiñ

    baḌe salīqe se būdam banā.e jaate haiñ

    vasūl hote haiñ pahle ye nāma-o-paiġhām

    ki ai shahanshah-e-aqlīm-e-'hāfiz'-o-'ḳhayyām'

    hamārī bazm-e-adab hai jashn-e-sālāna

    jalī hai sham-e-suḳhan raqs meñ hai parvāna

    ghaTā jo sheroñ chāroñ taraf se aa.ī hai

    vo film ke bhī sitāre sameT laa.ī hai

    guzishta saal sunā jis ne aap ko ye kahā

    na sho.ale meñ ye karishma, na barq meñ adā

    aur ab ke saal bhī ḳhud dekh leñge ye sarkār

    ki gūñjte haiñ aqīdat se kūcha-o-bāzār

    ravāna kar deñ kirā.e gar zarūrat hai

    ''vo aa.eñ ghar meñ hamāre ḳhudā qudrat hai''

    hamāre shahr meñ urdu adab dañggal hai

    ye shahar sher aur shā.eroñ jañgal hai

    ab is pe shā.er-e-shīrīñ-navā ko hai ye gumāñ

    ki mere sho.ale se raushan huī hai sham.a-e-bayāñ

    idhar se muntazim ik soch aur bichār meñ hai

    use ḳhabar hai ki shā.er kis intizār meñ hai

    bulāne ke liye isrār bhī vo kartā hai

    kirāya le ki na phir aa.e is se Dartā hai

    banā ke likhtā hai dāvat is tarah maktūb

    mushā.ere meñ diyā jā.egā jo hai matlūb

    ġharaz bulāte haiñ vo shā.eroñ ko hiile se

    payām aate haiñ ahbāb ke vasīle se

    jo sher sunñe ko apne gharoñ se aate haiñ

    vo sab baTer laḌāne lutf uThāte haiñ

    vo jānte haiñ ki shā.er hai ek murġh-e-ajīb

    agar galā hai to shā.er, nahīñ galā to adiib

    ye sochtā hai chalo qismat aazmā dekheñ

    sulūk hotā hai auroñ ke saath kyā dekheñ

    bahut se aur bhī shā.er vahāñ par ā.eñge

    chalo ki marg-e-raqībāñ lutf uThā.eñge

    haiñ kuchh pale hue shā.er kuchh in meñ ḳhud-rav haiñ

    purāne ghaag haiñ kuchh in meñ shā.er-e-nau haiñ

    vo dīdanī hai agar ho kuchh in meñ hañgāma

    ki is akhāḌe har pahlvāñ hai allāma

    satāte rahte haiñ shā.er ko aise andeshe

    yahāñ talak ki nikal aa.eñ rishte aur reshe

    ta.alluqāt se āḳhir ko ho ke vo majbūr

    mushā.ere ko chalā jaise kaam par mazdūr

    kisī se qarz liyā aur kisī minnat

    ġharaz ki shā.er-e-ātish-navā ne rahlat

    phañsā hai is liye phande meñ shā.er-e-sāda

    ki muntazim bhī the hushiyār ye bhī āmāda

    vo aa gayā hai uThā kar hazār dushvārī

    chale jilau meñ use le ke us ke darbārī

    kisī ke haath meñ paan aur kisī ke haath meñ haar

    har ik ye kahtā hai zahmat bahut huī sarkār

    mushā.ere meñ qadam-ranja aap farmā.eñ

    to ahl-e-zauq nashistoñ meñ aa ke bhar jaa.eñ

    taḌap rahe the jo sunñe ke vāste ash.ār

    mushā.ere ke liye un ke paas haiñ darkār

    ticket ḳharīd ke jo ahl-e-zauq aa.e haiñ

    vo āḳhirī safoñ meñ ḳhud-baḳhud samā.e haiñ

    moazzezīn jo zauq-e-adab se ḳhālī haiñ

    reserve un ke liye aglī saf karā haiñ

    ye is liye ki nazar meñ vo aap bhī raheñ

    jo sher vo na samajh paa.eñ aap vo na paḌheñ

    mushā.ere meñ ḳhvātīn buntī haiñ sweater

    sambhal ke baiThe haiñ shā.er taak meñ hōter

    paḌhā mushā.era shā.er ne ehtimām ke saath

    ġhazal sunā.ī tarannum dhūm-dhām ke saath

    kisī ne vaah kahā aur kisī ne huuT kiyā

    mushā.ere ko ye samjhā ki maiñ ne luuT liyā

    isī pe phūlā huā hai vāh-vāh huī

    tamām raat kaTī niiñd bhī tabāh huī

    ye mahfil aa ga.ī roz-o-shab sarhad par

    janāb-e-sadr bhī ab so chuke haiñ masnad par

    jo sāma.īn haiñ un par bhī niiñd taarī hai

    savārī us ko milī jis pe fazl-e-bārī hai

    jo muntazim the sitāroñ ke saath Duub ga.e

    ga.e vo shā.eroñ se chhup ke aur ḳhuub ga.e

    numūd-e-sub.h se jab muntashir huī mahfil

    akelā rah gayā shā.er ġharīb-e-shahr o ḳhajil

    mushā.era ba-juz andāz-e-hāv-hū kyā hai

    ''tumhāre shahar meñ 'ġhālib' aabrū kyā hai''

    mushaere mein jo shaer bulae jate hain

    baDe saliqe se budam banae jate hain

    wasul hote hain pahle ye nama-o-paigham

    ki ai shahanshah-e-aqlim-e-'hafiz'-o-'KHayyam'

    hamari bazm-e-adab ka hai jashn-e-salana

    jali hai sham-e-suKHan raqs mein hai parwana

    ghaTa jo sheron ki chaaron taraf se aai hai

    wo film ke bhi sitare sameT lai hai

    guzishta sal suna jis ne aap ko ye kaha

    na shoale mein ye karishma, na barq mein ada

    aur ab ke sal bhi KHud dekh lenge ye sarkar

    ki gunjte hain aqidat se kucha-o-bazar

    rawana kar den kirae ki gar zarurat hai

    wo aaen ghar mein hamare KHuda ki qudrat hai

    hamare shahr mein urdu adab ka danggal hai

    ye shahar sher ka aur shaeron ka jangal hai

    ab is pe shaer-e-shirin-nawa ko hai ye guman

    ki mere shoale se raushan hui hai shama-e-bayan

    idhar se muntazim ek soch aur bichaar mein hai

    use KHabar hai ki shaer kis intizar mein hai

    bulane ke liye israr bhi wo karta hai

    kiraya le ki na phir aae is se Darta hai

    bana ke likhta hai dawat ka is tarah maktub

    mushaere mein diya jaega jo hai matlub

    gharaz bulate hain wo shaeron ko hile se

    payam aate hain ahbab ke wasile se

    jo sher sunne ko apne gharon se aate hain

    wo sab baTer laDane ka lutf uThate hain

    wo jaante hain ki shaer hai ek murgh-e-ajib

    agar gala hai to shaer, nahin gala to adib

    ye sochta hai chalo qismat aazma dekhen

    suluk hota hai auron ke sath kya dekhen

    bahut se aur bhi shaer wahan par aaenge

    chalo ki marg-e-raqiban ka lutf uThaenge

    hain kuchh pale hue shaer kuchh in mein KHud-raw hain

    purane ghag hain kuchh in mein shaer-e-nau hain

    wo didani hai agar ho kuchh in mein hangama

    ki is akhaDe ka har pahlwan hai allama

    satate rahte hain shaer ko aise andeshe

    yahan talak ki nikal aaen rishte aur reshe

    talluqat se aaKHir ko ho ke wo majbur

    mushaere ko chala jaise kaam par mazdur

    kisi se qarz liya aur kisi ki minnat ki

    gharaz ki shaer-e-atish-nawa ne rahlat ki

    phansa hai is liye phande mein shaer-e-sada

    ki muntazim bhi the hushiyar ye bhi aamada

    wo aa gaya hai uTha kar hazar dushwari

    chale jilau mein use le ke us ke darbari

    kisi ke hath mein pan aur kisi ke hath mein haar

    har ek ye kahta hai zahmat bahut hui sarkar

    mushaere mein qadam-ranja aap farmaen

    to ahl-e-zauq nashiston mein aa ke bhar jaen

    taDap rahe the jo sunne ke waste ashaar

    mushaere ke liye un ke pas hain darkar

    ticket KHarid ke jo ahl-e-zauq aae hain

    wo aaKHiri safon mein KHud-baKHud samae hain

    moazzezin jo zauq-e-adab se KHali hain

    reserwe un ke liye agli saf kara li hain

    ye is liye ki nazar mein wo aap ki bhi rahen

    jo sher wo na samajh paen aap wo na paDhen

    mushaere mein KHwatin bunti hain sweater

    sambhal ke baiThe hain shaer ki tak mein hooter

    paDha mushaera shaer ne ehtimam ke sath

    ghazal sunai tarannum ki dhum-dham ke sath

    kisi ne wah kaha aur kisi ne huT kiya

    mushaere ko ye samjha ki main ne luT liya

    isi pe phula hua hai wah-wah hui

    tamam raat kaTi nind bhi tabah hui

    ye mahfil aa hi gai roz-o-shab ki sarhad par

    janab-e-sadr bhi ab so chuke hain masnad par

    jo samain hain un par bhi nind tari hai

    sawari us ko mili jis pe fazl-e-bari hai

    jo muntazim the sitaron ke sath Dub gae

    gae wo shaeron se chhup ke aur KHub gae

    numud-e-subh se jab muntashir hui mahfil

    akela rah gaya shaer gharib-e-shahr o KHajil

    mushaera ba-juz andaz-e-haw-hu kya hai

    tumhaare shahar mein 'ghaalib' ki aabru kya hai
