Ye Na Thi Hamari Qismat Ki Visal-e-yar Hota

ye na thi hamari qismat ki visal-e-yar hota

agar aur jite rahte yahi intizar hota

tere wade par jiye hum to ye jaan jhuT jaana

ki KHushi se mar na jate agar e'tibar hota

teri nazuki se jaana ki bandha tha ahd boda

kabhi tu na toD sakta agar ustuwar hota

koi mere dil se puchhe tere tir-e-nim-kash ko

ye KHalish kahan se hoti jo jigar ke par hota

ye kahan ki dosti hai ki bane hain dost naseh

koi chaarasaz hota koi gham-gusar hota

rag-e-sang se Tapakta wo lahu ki phir na thamta

jise gham samajh rahe ho ye agar sharar hota

gham agarche jaan-gusil hai pa kahan bachen ki dil hai

gham-e-ishq gar na hota gham-e-rozgar hota

kahun kis se main ki kya hai shab-e-gham buri bala hai

mujhe kya bura tha marna agar ek bar hota

hue mar ke hum jo ruswa hue kyun na gharq-e-dariya

na kabhi janaza uThta na kahin mazar hota

use kaun dekh sakta ki yagana hai wo yakta

jo dui ki bu bhi hoti to kahin do-chaar hota

ye masail-e-tasawwuf ye tera bayan 'ghaalib'

tujhe hum wali samajhte jo na baada-KHwar hota
