Ghaalib

balli-maran ke mohalle ki wo pechida dalilon ki si galiyan

samne Tal ki nukkaD pe baTeron ke qaside

guDguDati hui pan ki pikon mein wo dad wo wah wa

chand darwazon pe laTke hue bosida se kuchh TaT ke parde

ek bakri ke mimyane ki aawaz

aur dhundlai hui sham ke be-nur andhere sae

aise diwaron se munh joD ke chalte hain yahan

chuDi-walan kai kaTre ki baDi-bi jaise

apni bujhti hui aankhon se darwaze TaTole

isi be-nur andheri si gali-qasim se

ek tartib charaghon ki shurua hoti hai

ek quran-e-suKHan ka safha khulta hai

asadullah-KHan-'ghaalib' ka pata milta hai
