wo rabt-e-bahami nahin wo pyar bhi nahin
pahli si wo nigah-e-tarahdar bhi nahin

ab haal dil ka laeq-e-izhaar bhi nahin
jite hain aur jine ke aasar bhi nahin

har-har nafas mein zist ke hai aarzu-e-shauq
kam dilkashi mein ishq ka aazar bhi nahin

thi jaan ek amanat-e-yar us ko saunp di
ab zindagi ke dosh pe ye bar bhi nahin

is daur ki ajib hai tanzim dosto
fankar wo bana hai jo fankar bhi nahin

daur-e-hawas mein koi bhi pursan-e-gham nahin
apnon se kya shikayat-e-aghyar bhi nahin

duniya mein ek tera sahaara hai ai khuda
tanha hun koi yar-o-madad-gar bhi nahin

haq baat 'dard' ahl-e-khirad ko na ho qubul
'ghaalib' ke log itne taraf-dar bhi nahin
