ushshaq bahut hain tere bimar bahut hain
tujh husn-e-dil-aram ke haqdar bahut hain

ai sang-sifat aa ke sar-e-baam zara dekh
ek hum hi nahin tere talabgar bahut hain

bechain kiye rakhti hai har aan ye dil ko
kam-bakht mohabbat ke bhi aazar bahut hain

mitti ke khilaune hain tere hath mein hum log
aur gir ke bikhar jaane ke aasar bahut hain

likkhen to koi misra-e-tar likh nahin pate
aur 'ghaalib'-e-khasta ke taraf-dar bahut hain

ai rabb-e-hunar chashm-e-inayat idhar bhi
har-chand ki hum tere gunahgar bahut hain

'khawar' use pa lene mein kho dene ka dar hai
andesha o hasrat ke miyan khar bahut hain
