muzhda ai zauq-e-asiri ki nazar aata hai
dam-e-khali qafas-e-murgh-e-giraftar ke pas

jigar-e-tishna-e-azar tasalli na hua
ju-e-khun hum ne bahai bun-e-har khar ke pas

mund gain kholte hi kholte aankhen hai hai
khub waqt aae tum is aashiq-e-bimar ke pas

main bhi ruk ruk ke na marta jo zaban ke badle
dashna ek tez sa hota mere gham-khwar ke pas

dahan-e-sher mein ja baithe lekin ai dil
na khade ho jiye khuban-e-dil-azar ke pas

dekh kar tujh ko chaman bas-ki numu karta hai
khud-ba-khud pahunche hai gul gosha-e-dastar ke pas

mar gaya phod ke sar 'ghaalib'-e-wahshi hai hai
baithna us ka wo aa kar teri diwar ke pas
