کسی کو دے کے دل کوئی نواسنج فغاں کیوں ہو

Kisi ko de ke dil koi nawasanj-e-fughan kyun ho

Na ho jab dil hi seene mein to phir munh mein zaban kyun ho

Woh apni khu na chhorein ge hum apni zah kyun chhorein

Sabuk-sar ban ke kya poochein ke hum se sargran kyun ho

Kya gham khwar ne ruswa lage aag is mohabbat ko

Na lawe tab jo gham ki woh mera razdan kyun ho

Wafa kaisi kahan ka ishq jab sar phorna thahra

To phir ae sang-dil tera hi sang-e-aastan kyun ho

Qafas mein mujh se rodad-e-chaman kehte na dar humdam

Giri hai jis pe kal bijli woh mera aashiyan kyun ho

Yeh keh sakte ho hum dil mein nahin hain par yeh batlao

Ke jab dil mein tumhein tum ho to aankhon se nihan kyun ho

Ghalat hai jazb-e-dil ka shikwa dekho jurm kis ka hai

Na khaincho gar tum apne ko kashakash darmiyan kyun ho

Yeh fitna aadmi ki khana-weerani ko kya kam hai

Hue tum dost jis ke dushman us ka aasman kyun ho

Yehi hai azmana to satana kis ko kehte hain

Adu ke ho liye jab tum to mera imtihan kyun ho

Kaha tum ne ke kyun ho ghair ke milne mein ruswai

Baja kehte ho sach kehte ho phir kahio ke han kyun ho

Nikala chahta hai kaam kya tanon se to Ghalib

Tere be-mehr kehne se woh tujh par mehrban kyun ho
