آبرو کیا خاک اس گل کی کہ گلشن میں نہیں

Aabru kya khaak us gul ki ke gulshan mein nahin

Hai gareban nang-e-pairahan jo daman mein nahin

Zauf se ae giriya kuch baqi mere tan mein nahin

Rang ho kar ur gaya jo khoon ke daman mein nahin

Ho gaye hain jama ajza-e-nigah-e-aftab

Zarre us ke ghar ki deewaron ke rozan mein nahin

Kya kahoon tareeki-e-zindan-e-gham andher hai

Pamba-e-noor-e-subh se kam jis ke rozan mein nahin

Raunak-e-hasti hai ishq-e-khana-weeran-saz se

Anjuman be-shama hai gar barq-e-kharman mein nahin

Zakhm-e-sulwane se mujh par chara-jui ka hai taan

Ghair samjha hai ke lazzat-e-zakhm-e-sozan mein nahin

Baske hain hum ek bahar-e-naz ke mare hue

Jalwa-e-gul ke siwa ghard apne madfan mein nahin

Qatra qatra ek haiwla hai naye nasoor ka

Khoon bhi zauq-e-dard se farigh mere tan mein nahin

Le gayi saqi ki nukhwat qulzum-ashami meri

Mauj-e-mai ki aaj rag-e-meena ki gardan mein nahin

Ho fishar-e-zauf mein kya natuwani ki numood

Qad ke jhukne ki bhi gunjaish mere tan mein nahin

Thi watan mein shan kya Ghalib ke ho ghurbat mein qadr

Be-takalluf hoon woh musht-e-khas ke gul-khan mein nahin
