main agar apni jawaani ke suna doon qisse ye jo launde hain mere paanv dabane lag jaa.e

ab lagta hai theek kaha tha ghalib ne badhte-badhte dard davaa ho jaata hai

baat karo roothe yaaron se sannaaton se dar jaate hain pyaar akelaa jee leta hai dost akelaa mar jaate hain

ham bhi dariyaa hain ha men apna hunar maaloom hai jis taraf bhi chal padenge raasta ho jaayega

mere aañsu nahin tham rahe ki vo mujhse juda ho gaya aur tum kah rahe ho ki chhodo ab aisa bhi kya ho gaya may-kadon men meri lainein padhte firte hain log maine jo kuchh bhi pee kar kaha falsafa ho gaya

bol ki lab azaad hain tere bol zabaan ab tak teri hai

unhin ke faiz se bazaar-e-aql raushan hai jo gaah gaah junoon ikhtiyaar karte rahe

zindagi kya kisi mufalis ki qaba hai jis men har ghadi dard ke paivand lage jaate hain

ik gul ke murjhaane par kya gulshan men kohraam macha ik chehra kumhala jaane se kitne dil naashaad hue

ye daagh daagh ujaala ye shab-gazeeda sehar vo intizaar tha jis ka ye vo sehar to nahin
