harif-e-matlab-e-mushkil nahin fusun-e-niyaz

dua qubul ho ya rab ki umr-e-KHizr daraaz!

na ho ba-harzah bayaban-naward-e-wahm-e-wajud

hanuz tere tasawwur mein hai nasheb-o-faraaz

visal jalwa tamasha hai par dimagh kahan

ki dije aaina-e-intizar ko pardaz

har ek zarra-e-ashiq hai aaftab-parast

gai na KHak hue par hawa-e-jalwa-e-naz

na puchh wusat-e-mai-KHana-e-junun 'ghaalib'

jahan ye kasa-e-gardun hai ek KHak-andaz

fareb-e-sanat-e-ijad ka tamasha dekh

nigah aks-farosh o KHayal aaina-saz

zi-bas-ki jalwa-e-sayyaad hairat-ara hai

uDi hai safha-e-KHatir se surat-e-parwaz

hujum-e-fikr se dil misl-e-mauj larze hai

ki shisha nazuk o sahba-e-abgina-gudaz

'asad' se tark-e-wafa ka guman wo mani hai

ki khinchiye par-e-tair se surat-e-parwaz

hanuz ai asar-e-did nang-e-ruswai

nigah fitna-KHiram o dar-e-do-alam baz
