Kab Wo Sunta Hai Kahani Meri

kab wo sunta hai kahani meri

aur phir wo bhi zabani meri

KHalish-e-ghamza-e-KHun-rez na puchh

dekh KHunaba-fishani meri

kya bayan kar ke mera roenge yar

magar aashufta-bayani meri

hun za-KHud rafta-e-baida-e-KHayal

bhul jaana hai nishani meri

mutaqabil hai muqabil mera

ruk gaya dekh rawani meri

qadr-e-sang-e-sar-e-rah rakhta hun

saKHt arzan hai girani meri

gard-baad-e-rah-e-betabi hun

sarsar-e-shauq hai bani meri

dahan us ka jo na malum hua

khul gai hech madani meri

kar diya zof ne aajiz 'ghaalib'

nang-e-piri hai jawani meri
