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

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

koi itnaa pyaara kaise ho saka hai phir saare ka saara kaise ho saka hai tujhse jab milkar bhi udaasi kam nahin hoti tere baghair guzaara kaise ho saka hai

tumhein ik mashwara doon saadgi se kah do dil ki baat bahut taiyaariyaan karne men gaadi chhoot jaati hai

yaaro kuchh to zikr karo tum us ki qayamat baanhon ka vo jo simtate honge un men vo to mar jaate honge

dosto kya kya diwali men nashaat-o-aish hai sab muhayya hai jo is hangaam ke shaayaan hai shay

hai dasahre men bhi yuñ gar farhat-o-zeenat nazeer par diwali bhi ajab paakeeza-tar tyaohar hai

munh zard-o-aah-e-sard o lab-e-khushk o chashm-e-tar sacchi jo dil-lagi hai to kya kya gawaah hai

juda kisi se kisi ka garz habeeb na ho ye daagh vo hai ki dushman ko bhi naseeb na ho

din jal dii jal dii chaltaa ho tab dekh bahaarein jaade ki aur paala barf pighlata ho tab dekh bahaarein jaade ki
