Kya Tang Hum Sitam-zadagan Ka Jahan Hai

kya tang hum sitam-zadagan ka jahan hai

jis mein ki ek baiza-e-mor aasman hai

hai kaenat ko harakat tere zauq se

partaw se aaftab ke zarre mein jaan hai

haalanki hai ye sili-e-KHara se lala rang

ghafil ko mere shishe pe mai ka guman hai

ki us ne garm sina-e-ahl-e-hawas mein ja

aawe na kyun pasand ki ThanDa makan hai

kya KHub tum ne ghair ko bosa nahin diya

bas chup raho hamare bhi munh mein zaban hai

baiTha hai jo ki saya-e-diwar-e-yar mein

farman-rawa-e-kishwar-e-hindustan hai

hasti ka e'tibar bhi gham ne miTa diya

kis se kahun ki dagh jigar ka nishan hai

hai bare e'timad-e-wafa-dari is qadar

'ghaalib' hum is mein KHush hain ki na-mehrban hai

dehli ke rahne walo 'asad' ko satao mat

be-chaara chand roz ka yan mehman hai
