Aaina kyu na doon ke tamasha kahe jisy

Aaina kyu na doon ke tamasha kahe jisy
Aisa kaha se laau ke tujhasa kahe jisy

Hasrat ne la rakha teri bazm-e-khayal me
Guldasta-e-nigaah suveda kahe jisy

Phoonka hai kisne goshe mohabbat mein aye khuda
Afasuun-e-intazar tamanna kahe jisy

Sar par hajum-e-dard-e-garibi se daliye
Wo ek musht-e-khak ke sahara kahe jisy

Hai chashm-e-tar me hasarat-e-diidar se niha
Shauq-e-ina gusekhta dariya kahe jisy

Darakar hai shiguftan-e-gul haye aish ko
Sub_h-e-bahar paba-e-miina kahe jisy

“ghalib” bura na man jo vaiz bura kahe
Aisa bhii koii hai ke sab achchha kahe jisy...
