Dard se mere hai tujhko beqaraarii haaye haaye
Kyaa hui zaalim teri Ghafalatshi’aari haaye haaye
Tere dil meN gar na thaa aashob-E-Gham kaa hausalaa
Tu ne phir kyun kii thii merii Gham-gusaari haaye haaye
Kyun meri Gham-Khaaragii kaa thujhko aayaa thaa Khyaal
Dushmanii apanii thii merii dost daari haaye haaye
Umr bhar kaa tuune paimaan-E-vafaa baaNdhaa to kyaa
Umr ko bhii to nahiN hai paayadaari haaye haaye
Zahr lagtii hai mujhe aab-O-havaa-E-zindagii
Yaa’nii tujh se thi ise naasaazgaari haaye haaye
Ghulfeshaani haaye naaz-E-jalvaa ko kya ho gaya
Khaak par hoti hai terii laalaakaari haaye haaye
Sharm-E-rusvaayii se jaa chhupnaa naqaab-E-Khaak meN
Khatm hai ulfat kii tujh par pardaadaari haaye haaye
Khaak meN naamuus-E-paimaan-E-muhabbat mil gayii
Uth gayii dunyaa se raah-O-rasm-E-yaari haaye haaye
Haath hi teGh-aazmaa kaa kaam se jaataa rahaa
Dil pe ik lagne naa paayaa zakhm-e-kaari haaye haaye
Kis tarah kaaTe koii shab_haaye taar-E-barshigaal
Hai nazar khun kardaa-E-akhtar-shumaari haaye haaye
Gosh mahjuur-E-payaam-O-chashm mahruum-E-jamaal
Ek dil, tis par ye naa-ummiid-vaari haaye haaye
Ishq ne pakaRa na thaa ‘Ghalib’ abhii vahshat ka rang
Rah gaya thaa dil meN jo kuchh zauq-E-Khaari haaye haaye
