bayan-e-'ghaalib'-e-rangin-nawa hai
qalam shair ka sajde mein jhuka hai

pae tazim saf-basta hain alfaz
dil-e-shair mein ek tufan bapa hai

aqidat us se har ahl-e-nazar ko
ki wo fikr-o-nazar ka rahnuma hai

wo ghaalib wo shahanshah-e-maani
wo 'ghaalib' jis ki azmat ghair-fani

salasat aur fasahat allah allah
ki dariya-e-sukhan mange rawani

bahut ustad-e-shah the aur honge
magar hoga na koi us ka sani

zarafat us ki fitrat ka taqaza
matanat us ke fikr-o-fan ka jauhar

mohabbat ruh us ki shairi ki
kahan honge bhala aise sukhnawar

zamana kis liye us ko mitata
wo insan tha na tha harf-e-mukarrar

zaban us ki zaban-e-zindagi hai
bayan us ka bayan-e-agahi hai
