padi rahne do insaano ki laashen zameen ka bojh halka kyun karen ham

koi samandar koi nadi hoti koi dariyaa hota ham jitne pyaase the hamaara ek gilaas se kya hota taane dene se aur ham pe shak karne se behtar tha gale laga ke tumne hijrat ka dukh baat liya hota

kabootar ishq ka utre to kaise tumhaari chat pe nigraani bahut hai iraada kar liya gar khudkushi ka to KHud ki aankh ka paani bahut hai

koshish bhi kar umeed bhi rakh raasta bhi chun phir is ke b'ad thoda muqaddar talash kar

shartein lagaaee jaati nahin dosti ke saath kijeye mujhe qubool mirii har kamii ke saath

mujhe pasand nahin aise kaarobaar men hooñ ye jabr hai ki main KHud apne ikhtiyaar men hooñ

KHvaahish sukhaane rakkhi thii kothe pe dopahar ab shaam ho chali miyaan dekho kidhar gaii

ham ko gaali ke li.e bhi lab hila sakte nahin gair ko bosa diya to munh se dikhla kar diya

phir baalon men raat hui phir haathon men chaand khila

tum ko daava hai sukhan-fahmi ka jaao ghalib ke taraf-daar bano
