sar-ta-ba-qadam ek hasin raaz ka aalam
allah re ek fitnagar-e-naaz ka aalam

zulfon mein wo barsat ki raaton ki jawani
aariz pe wo anwar-e-sahar-saz ka aalam

unwan-e-sokhan 'ghaalib' o 'momin' ka taghazzul
andaz-e-nazar baada-e-shiraaz ka aalam

duz-dida nigahon mein ek ilham ki duniya
nazuk se tabassum mein ek ejaz ka aalam

uljhe hue jumlon mein shararat bhi haya bhi
jazbaat mein duba hua aawaz ka aalam

is sadgi-e-husn mein kis darja kashish hai
har naz mein ek jazba-e-ghammaz ka aalam

us said ko kya kahiye jo khud aae tah-e-dam
dil mein liye ek hasrat-e-parwaz ka aalam

yun to na tasahul na taghaful na tajahul
kuchh aur hai us kafir-e-tannaz ka aalam

shokhi mein shararat mein matanat mein haya mein
jo raaz ka aalam tha wahi raaz ka aalam
