کب وہ سنتا ہے کہانی میری

Kab woh sunta hai kahani meri

Aur phir woh bhi zabani meri

Khalish-e-ghamza-e-khoon-rez na pooch

Dekh khoonaba-fshani meri

Kya bayan kar ke mera roinge yar

Magar aashufta-bayani meri

Hoon ze-khud-rafta-e-baida-e-khayal

Bhool jana hai nishani meri

Mutaqabil hai muqabil mera

Ruk gaya dekh rawani meri

Qadr-e-sang-e-sar-e-rah rakhta hoon

Sakht arzan hai girani meri

Ghard-e-baad-e-rah-e-betabi hoon

Sarsar-e-shauq hai bani meri

Dahan us ka jo na maloom hua

Khul gayi hech-madani meri

Kar diya zauf ne aajiz Ghalib

Nang-e-piri hai jawani meri
