bazicha-e-atfal hai duniya mere age
hota hai shab-o-roz tamasha mere age


ik khel hai aurang-e-suleman mere nazdik
ik bat hai ejaz-e-masiha mere age


juz nam nahi surat-e-alam mujhe manzur
juz waham nahi hasti-e-ashiya mere age


hota hai nihan gard mein sehra mere hote
ghista hai jabin khak pe dariya mere age


mat puch k kya hal hai mera tere piche
tu dekh k kya rang hai tera mere age


sach kahte ho khudbin-o-khudara hun na kyon hun
baitha hai but-e-aina sima mere age


phir dekhiye andaz-e-gulafshani-e-guftar
rakh de koi paimana-e-sahba mere age


nafrat ka guman guzre hai main rashk se guzra
kyon kar kahun lo nam na us ka mere age


iman mujhe rok hai jo khinche hai mujhe kufr
kaba mere piche hai kalisa mere age


ashiq hun pe mashuqfarebi hai mera kam
majnun ko bura kahti hai laila mere age


khush hote hain par wasl mein yun mar nahi jate
ai shab-e-hijaran ki tamanna mere age


hai maujzan ik qulzum-e-khun kash! yahi ho
ata hai abhi dekhiye kya-kya mere age


go hath ko jumbish nahi ankhon mein to dam hai
rahne do abhi sagar-o-mina mere age


hampesha-o-hammasharab-o-hamraz hai mera
'ghalib' ko bura kyon kaho acha mere age
