bazm se jab nigar uthta hai
mere dil se ghubar uthta hai

main jo baitha hun to wo khush-qamat
dekh lo bar bar uthta hai

teri surat ko dekh kar meri jaan
khud-bakhud dil mein pyar uthta hai

us ki gul-gasht se rawish-ba-rawish
rang hi rang yar uthta hai

tere jate hi is kharabe se
shor-e-girya hazar uthta hai

kaun hai jis ko jaan aziz nahin
le tera jaan-nisar uthta hai

saf-ba-saf aa khade hue hain ghazal
dasht se khaksar uthta hai

hai ye tesha ki ek shoala sa
bar-sar-e-kohsar uthta hai

karb-e-tanhai hai wo shai ki khuda
aadmi ko pukar uthta hai

tu ne phir kasb-e-zar ka zikr kiya
kahin hum se ye bar uthta hai

lo wo majbur shahr-e-sahra se
aaj diwana-war uthta hai

apne yan to zamane walon ka
roz hi eatibar uthta hai

'jaun' uthta hai yun kaho yani
'mir'-o-'ghaalib' ka yar uthta hai
