پھر کچھ اک دل کو بے قراری ہے

Phir kuch ek dil ko be-qarari hai

Seena joya-e-zakhm-e-kari hai

Phir jigar khodne laga nakhun

Aamad-e-fasl-e-lala-kari hai

Qibla-e-maqsad-e-nigah-e-niyaz

Phir wohi parda-e-ammari hai

Chashm-e-dallal-e-jins-e-ruswai

Dil kharidar-e-zauq-e-khwari hai

Wohi sad rang nala-farsai

Wohi sad guna ashk-bari hai

Dil hawa-e-khiram-e-naaz phir se phir

Mahsharistan-e-be-qarari hai

Jalwa phir arz-e-naaz karta hai

Roz bazar-e-jaan-sipari hai

Phir usi be-wafa pe marte hain

Phir wohi zindagi hamari hai

Phir khula hai dar-e-adalat-e-naaz

Garam bazar-e-faujdari hai

Ho raha hai jahan mein andher

Zulf ki phir sar-shta-dari hai

Phir diya para-e-jigar ne sawal

Ek faryad-o-aah-o-zari hai

Phir hue hain gawah ishq-talab

Ashk-bari ka hukm jari hai

Dil-o-muzhgan ka jo muqaddama tha

Aaj phir us ki rubkari hai

Be-khudi be-sabab nahin Ghalib

Kuch to hai jis ki parda-dari hai
