جہاں تیرا نقش قدم دیکھتے ہیں

Jahan tera naqsh-e-qadam dekhte hain

Khiyaban khiyaban iram dekhte hain

Dil-e-ashuftagan khaal-e-kunj-e-dahan ke

Suwaida mein sair-e-adam dekhte hain

Tere sarv-e-qamat se ek qad-e-Adam

Qayamat ke fitne ko kam dekhte hain

Tamasha ke ae mahv-e-aina-dari

Tujhe kis tamanna se hum dekhte hain

Suragh-e-taf-e-nala le daagh-e-dil se

Ke shab-ro ka naqsh-e-qadam dekhte hain

Bana kar faqiron ka hum bhes Ghalib

Tamasha-e-ahl-e-karam dekhte hain

Kasu ko ze-khud rasta-kam dekhte hain

Ke ahu ko paband-e-ram dekhte hain

Khat-e-lakht-e-dil yak qalam dekhte hain

Muzha ko jawahar raqam dekhte hain
