mere honton pe apni pyaas rakh do aur phir socho ki is ke baa'd bhi duniya men kuchh paana zaroori hai

meri duniya ujad gaii is men tum ise haadsa samjhte ho aakhiri raasta to baaki hai aakhiri raasta samjhte ho

kaisa dil aur is ke kya gham jee yuñ hi baatein banaate hain ham jee

tum un ke wa'de ka zikr un se kyun karo ghalib ye kya ki tum kaho aur vo kahein ki yaad nahin

sair kar duniya ki ghaafil zindagaani phir kahaan zindagi gar kuchh rahi to ye jawaani phir kahaan

is qadar KHud se banaa rakkhi hai doori maine KHud pahunchti nahin mujh tak hi sadaaein meri

ye aur baat ki tujh se gilaa nahin karte wagarana apni nazar se chhupa to kuchh bhi nahin

abhii bhi apni kitaabon ke pichhle panne par tumhaare naam ko likhte hain phir mitaate hain

hamaare aabaa-o-ajdaad se viraasat men zameen nahin na sahi par ha men kitaab mile

tum apni baat pe qaaim ho aakhri dam tak hatao chhodo ye khwaab-o-khayaal ki baatein
