Shuaq har rung raqeeb-e-sar-o-samaan nikla
Qais tasweer ke parday mein bhi uryaan nikla
Zakham ne dad na di tangi e dil ki ya rab!
Teer bhi seena e bismil se pur afshan nikla
Bou e gul, nala e dil, dood e chiragh e mahfil
Jo teri bazm se nikla so pareshaan nikla
Dil e hasratzada tha ma'adai lazzat e dared
Kaam yaron ka ba qadr-e-lab-o-dandaan nikla
Aye nau amooz e fana, himmat e dushwar pasand
Sakht mushkil hai ke ye kaam bhi asaan nikla
Dil mein phir girye ne ek shuar uthaya Ghalib
Aah! jo qatrah na nikla tha, so toofaan nikla !!
