Ghaalib

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

samne Tal ke nukkaD pe beDon ke qaside

chand darwazon pe laTke hue bosida se kuchh TaT ke parde

aur dhundlai hui sham ke be-nur andhere sae

aise diwaron se munh joD kar chalte hain yahan

chuDi-walan kaTre ki baDi-bi jaise

apni bujhti hui aankhon se darwaze TaTole

is be-nur andheri si gali-qasim se

ek tartib charaghon ki shurua hoti hai

ek quran-e-suKHan ka bhi waraq khulta hai

asadullah-KHan-'ghaalib' ka pata milta hai
