ghazal ka meri khaka dekhta hai
jo us gul ka sarapa dekhta hai

palat kar jab masiha dekhta hai
mere zakhmon ko hansta dekhta hai

tilismi hain nae insan ki aankhen
ki ghar mein rah ke duniya dekhta hai

wahi kirdar zinda hai jo apni
kahani ko adhura dekhta hai

ye sun kar meri ninden ud gai hain
koi mera bhi sapna dekhta hai

jo udte hain uden 'ghaalib' ke purze
tamashai tamasha dekhta hai

samundar bund lagta hai kisi ko
koi zarre mein sahra dekhta hai

na jaane kis mein hai kitni basirat
na jaane kaun kitna dekhta hai
