Tum Jaano Tumko Ghair Se Jo Rasm-o-rah Ho

tum jaano tum ko ghair se jo rasm-o-rah ho

mujh ko bhi puchhte raho to kya gunah ho

bachte nahin muwaKHaza-e-roz-e-hashr se

qatil agar raqib hai to tum gawah ho

kya wo bhi be-gunah-kush o haq-na-shanas hain

mana ki tum bashar nahin KHurshid o mah ho

ubhra hua naqab mein hai un ke ek tar

marta hun main ki ye na kisi ki nigah ho

jab mai-kada chhuTa to phir ab kya jagah ki qaid

masjid ho madrasa ho koi KHanqah ho

sunte hain jo bahisht ki tarif sab durust

lekin KHuda kare wo tera jalwa-gah ho

'ghaalib' bhi gar na ho to kuchh aisa zarar nahin

duniya ho ya rab aur mera baadshah ho
