ستائش گر ہے زاہد اس قدر جس باغ رضواں کا

Sitaish gar hai zahid us qadar jis baagh-e-Rizwan ka

Woh ek guldasta hai hum be-khudon ke taaq-e-nisyan ka

Bayan kya kijiye bedad-e-kawish-ha-e-muzhgan ka

Ke har yak qatra-e-khoon dana hai tasbeeh-e-murjan ka

Na aayi satwat-e-baad-e-khizan mani mere lahu ko

Liya danton mein jo tinka hua resha-e-naistan ka

Dikhaon ga tamasha use agar fursat-e-zamana ne

Mera har daagh-e-dil ek hai sarv-e-chiraghan ka

Kya aaina-khane ka woh naqsha tere jalwe ne

Kare jo partav-e-khursheed-e-aalam shabnamistan ka

Meri tameer mein muzmar hai ek surat kharabi ki

Haiwla barq-e-kharman ka hai khoon-e-garm-e-dehqan ka

Uga hai ghar mein har su sabza-e-weerani tamasha kar

Madar ab khodne par ghaas ke hai mere darban ka

Khamoshi mein nihan khoon-gashta lakhon aarzuyen hain

Chiragh-e-murda hoon main be-zaban gor-e-ghariban ka

Hunooz ek partav-e-naqsh-e-khayal-e-yar baqi hai

Dil-e-afsurda goya hujra hai Yusuf ke zindan ka

Baghal mein ghair ki aaj aap sote hain kahin warna

Sabab kya khwab mein aa kar tabassum-ha-e-pinhan ka

Nahin maloom kis kis ka lahu paani hua hoga

Qayamat hai sarishk-aluda hona teri muzhgan ka

Nazar mein hai hamari jada-e-raah-e-fana Ghalib

Ke yeh sheraza hai aalam ke ajza-e-pareshan ka
