maut se kab najat hai pyare
zindagi ko ye mat hai pyare

jis ne samjha wo mir ho gaya hai
aaina kaenat hai pyare

roz chehre badal ke khush hai tu
ye to khud se hi ghat hai pyare

tu jinhen shurwir samjhe hai
buz-dilon ki ye zat hai pyare

itna aasan nahin ghazal kahna
'mir' 'ghaalib' ki zat hai pyare

tera kirdar aaina ho jae
bas yahi to sabaat hai pyare

dub ja ishq ke samundar mein
dekh phir kaun sath hai pyare

koi maqsad na koi manzil ho
zindagi kya mamat hai pyare
