zikr mera ba-badi bhi use manzur nahin
ghair ki baat bigad jae to kuchh dur nahin

wada-e-sair-e-gulistan hai khusha tale-e-shauq
muzhda-e-qatl muqaddar hai jo mazkur nahin

shahid-e-hasti-e-mutlaq ki kamar hai aalam
log kahte hain ki hai par hamein manzur nahin

qatra apna bhi haqiqat mein hai dariya lekin
hum ko taqlid-e-tunuk-zarfi-e-mansur nahin

hasrat ai zauq-e-kharabi ki wo taqat na rahi
ishq-e-pur-arbada ki gun tan-e-ranjur nahin

main jo kahta hun ki hum lenge qayamat mein tumhein
kis raunat se wo kahte hain ki hum hur nahin

zulm kar zulm agar lutf daregh aata ho
tu taghaful mein kisi rang se mazur nahin

saf durdi-kash-e-paimana-e-jam hain hum log
wae wo baada ki afsharda-e-angur nahin

hun zuhuri ke muqabil mein khifai 'ghaalib'
mere dawe pe ye hujjat hai ki mashhur nahin
