بسکہ دشوار ہے ہر کام کا آساں ہونا

Baske dushwar hai har kaam ka asan hona

Aadmi ko bhi muyassar nahin insan hona

Girya chahe hai kharabi mere kashane ki

Dar-o-deewar se tapke hai bayaban hona

Wai deewanagi-e-shauq ke har dam mujh ko

Aap jana udhar aur aap hi hairan hona

Jalwa az bas ke taqaza-e-nigah karta hai

Jauhar-e-aaina bhi chahe hai muzhgan hona

Ishrat qatl-gah-e-ahl-e-tamanna mat pooch

Eid-e-nazara hai shamsher ka uryan hona

Le gaye khaak mein hum daagh-e-tamanna-e-nashat

Tu ho aur aap ba-sad rang gulistan hona

Ishrat para-e-dil zakhm-e-tamanna khana

Lazzat-e-resh-e-jigar gharq-e-namakdan hona

Ki mere qatl ke baad us ne jafa se tauba

Haye us zud-pashiman ka pashiman hona

Haif us chaar-girah kapre ki qismat Ghalib

Jis ki qismat mein ho aashiq ka gareban hona
