Ye Sahra-e-talab Ya Besha-e-ashufta-haali Hai

ye sahra-e-talab ya besha-e-ashufta-haali hai

koi daryuza-gar apna koi tera sawali hai

hawadis se nabard-araiyon ka kis ko yara tha

junun apna salamat jis ne har uftad Tali hai

tere aghmaz ki KHu sikh li ahl-e-murawwat ne

ki mahfil dard ki ab sahab-e-mahfil se KHali hai

huzuri ho ki mahjuri mohabbat kam nahin us se

tab apna baKHt-e-ali tha ab apna zarf-e-ali hai

numu ka josh kuchh nazzara-farma ho to ho warna

bahaar ab ke baras KHud paimal-e-KHushk-sali hai

kisi ke lutf-e-kam ko der lagti hai siwa hote

chaTakne tak to har gul ki jibillat infiali hai

sharaf itna ki 'ghaalib' ki zamin mein hai ghazal 'gauhar'

wo mazmun-afrini hai na wo nazuk-KHayali hai
