نالہ جز حسن طلب اے ستم ایجاد نہیں

Nala juz husn-e-talab ae sitam-ijad nahin

Hai taqaza-e-jafa shikwa-e-bedad nahin

Ishq-o-mazdoori-e-ishrat-gah-e-Khusrau kya khoob

Hum ko tasleem-e-niku-nami-e-Farhad nahin

Kam nahin woh bhi kharabi mein pe wusat maloom

Dasht mein hai mujhe woh aish ke ghar yaad nahin

Ahl-e-binish ko hai toofan-e-hawadis maktab

Latma-e-mauj kam az saili-e-ustad nahin

Wae mehroomi-e-tasleem-o-bada-hal-e-wafa

Janta hai ke hamein taqat-e-faryad nahin

Rang-e-tamkeen-e-gul-o-lala pareshan kyun hai

Gar chiraghan-e-sar-e-rah-guzar-e-baad nahin

Sabad-e-gul ke tale band kare hai gulchin

Muzhda ae murgh ke gulzar mein sayyad nahin

Nafi se karti hai isbat tarawish goya

Di hai ja-e-dahan us ko dam-e-ijad nahin

Kam nahin jalwa-gari mein tere kooche se bahisht

Yehi naqsha hai wale is qadar abad nahin

Karte kis munh se ho ghurbat ki shikayat Ghalib

Tum ko be-mehri-e-yaran-e-watan yaad nahin
