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

agar tum ho to ghabraane ki koi baat thodii hai zara si boonda-baan dii hai bahut barsaat thodii hai ye raah-e-ishq hai is men qadam aise hi uthte hain mohabbat sochne waalon ke bas ki baat thodii hai

bade naadaan ho tum bhi zara samjha karo baatein gale milkar jo roti hai bichhadkar kitna royegi

poochte hain vo ki ghalib kaun hai koi batlaao ki ham batlaayein kya

zindagi se chali gaii lekin vo mere zehan se nahin jaati

zahar se itne to nahin marte log marte hain jitne taano se

mujhe jaage hue to ek arsa ho gaya par meri qismat ko dekho chain se soi hui hai

uske kehne se sudhar saktaa hooñ darti hai jo mujhe kuchh kehne se

shaam hote hi chali aati hain yaaden jaise mayyat pe chale aate hain sab log
