Gham-e-duniya Se Gar Pai Bhi Fursat Sar UThane Ki

gham-e-duniya se gar pai bhi fursat sar uThane ki

falak ka dekhna taqrib tere yaad aane ki

khulega kis tarah mazmun mere maktub ka ya-rab

qasam khai hai us kafir ne kaghaz ke jalane ki

lipaTna parniyan mein shola-e-atish ka pinhan hai

wale mushkil hai hikmat dil mein soz-e-gham chhupane ki

unhen manzur apne zaKHmiyon ka dekh aana tha

uThe the sair-e-gul ko dekhna shoKHi bahane ki

hamari sadgi thi iltifat-e-naz par marna

tera aana na tha zalim magar tamhid jaane ki

lakad kub-e-hawadis ka tahammul kar nahin sakti

meri taqat ki zamin thi buton ki naz uThane ki

kahun kya KHubi-e-auza-e-abna-e-zaman 'ghaalib'

badi ki us ne jis se hum ne ki thi bar-ha neki
