ZaKHm Par ChhiDken Kahan Tiflan-e-be-parwa Namak

zaKHm par chhiDken kahan tiflan-e-be-parwa namak

kya maza hota agar patthar mein bhi hota namak

gard-e-rah-e-yar hai saman-e-naz-e-zaKHm-e-dil

warna hota hai jahan mein kis qadar paida namak

mujh ko arzani rahe tujh ko mubarak hojiyo

nala-e-bulbul ka dard aur KHanda-e-gul ka namak

shor-e-jaulan tha kanar-e-bahr par kis ka ki aaj

gard-e-sahil hai ba-zaKHm-e-mauja-e-dariya namak

dad deta hai mere zaKHm-e-jigar ki wah wah

yaad karta hai mujhe dekhe hai wo jis ja namak

chhoD kar jaana tan-e-majruh-e-ashiq haif hai

dil talab karta hai zaKHm aur mange hain aaza namak

ghair ki minnat na khinchunga pai-e-taufir-e-dard

zaKHm misl-e-KHanda-e-qatil hai sar-ta-pa namak

yaad hain 'ghaalib' tujhe wo din ki wajd-e-zauq mein

zaKHm se girta to main palkon se chunta tha namak

is amal mein aish ki lazzat nahin milti 'asad'

zor nisbat mai se rakhta hai azara ka namak
