hamko dil se bhi nikala gaya phir shahar se bhi hamko patthar se bhi maara gaya phir zehar se bhi

ishq men ye daava to naiiñ hai main hi awwal aaunga lekin itnaa kah saka hooñ achchhe number laaunga

jaun uthata hai yuñ kaho ya'ni meer'-o-'ghalib ka yaar uthata hai

agar hai ishq saccha to nigaahon se bayaañ hogaa zabaan se bolna bhi kya koi izhaar hota hai

aaj ham dono ko furqat hai chalo ishq karein ishq dono ki zaroorat hai chalo ishq karen

phool gul shams-o-qamar saare hi the par ha men un men tumhiin bhaaye bahut

shaam se kuchh bujha sa rehta hooñ dil hua hai charaaghh muflis ka

meer saahib zamaana naazuk hai dono haathon se thaamiye dastaar

iqaar men kahaan hai inkaar kii sii khoobi hota hai shauq ghalib us kii nahin nahin par

hamaare aage tira jab kisoo ne naam liya dil-e-sitm-zada ko ham ne thaam thaam liya
