Shikwe Ke Nam Se Be-mehr KHafa Hota Hai

shikwe ke nam se be-mehr KHafa hota hai

ye bhi mat kah ki jo kahiye to gila hota hai

pur hun main shikwe se yun rag se jaise baja

ek zara chheDiye phir dekhiye kya hota hai

go samajhta nahin par husn-e-talafi dekho

shikwa-e-jaur se sargarm-e-jafa hota hai

ishq ki rah mein hai charKH-e-makaukab ki wo chaal

sust-rau jaise koi aabla-pa hota hai

kyun na Thahren hadaf-e-nawak-e-bedad ki hum

aap uTha late hain gar tir KHata hota hai

KHub tha pahle se hote jo hum apne bad-KHwah

ki bhala chahte hain aur bura hota hai

nala jata tha pare arsh se mera aur ab

lab tak aata hai jo aisa hi rasa hota hai

KHama mera ki wo hai bar-bud-e-bazm-e-suKHan

shah ki madh mein yun naghma-sara hota hai

ai shahanshah-e-kawakib sipah-o-mehr-e-alam

tere ikram ka haq kis se ada hota hai

sat aqlim ka hasil jo faraham kije

to wo lashkar ka tere nal-e-baha hota hai

har mahine mein jo ye badar se hota hai hilal

aastan par tere mah nasiya sa hota hai

main jo gustaKH hun aain-e-ghazal-KHwani mein

ye bhi tera hi karam zauq-faza hota hai

rakhiyo 'ghaalib' mujhe is talKH-nawai mein muaf

aaj kuchh dard mere dil mein siwa hota hai
