hujum-e-gham se yan tak sar-niguni mujhko hasil hai

hujum-e-gham se yan tak sar-niguni mujh ko hasil hai
ki tar-e-daman o tar-e-nazar mein farq mushkil hai
rafu-e-zakhm se matlab hai lazzat zakhm-e-sozan ki
samajhiyo mat ki pas-e-dard se diwana ghafil hai


wo gul jis gulsitan mein jalwa-farmai kare 'ghaalib'
chatakna ghuncha-e-gul ka sada-e-khanda-e-dil hai
hua hai mane-e-ashiq-nawazi naz-e-khud-bini
takalluf-bar-taraf aaina-e-tamiz hael hai


ba-sail-e-ashk lakht-e-dil hai daman-gir mizhgan ka
ghariq-e-bahr juya-e-khas-o-khashak-e-sahil hai
baha hai yan tak ashkon mein ghubar-e-kulfat-e-khatir
ki chashm-e-tar mein har ek para-e-dil pa-e-dar-gil hai


nikalti hai tapish mein bismilon ki barq ki shokhi
gharaz ab tak khayal-e-garmi-e-raftar qatil hai
