Siyahi jaise gir jaae dam-e-tahrir kaghaz par
Meri qismat mei yun tasvir hai shab-ha-e-hijran ki
Kahun kya garm-joshi main-kashi mei shoala-ruyan ki
Ki sham-e-khana-e-dil atish-e-mai se farozan ki
Hamesha mujh ko tifli mei bhi mashq-e-terah-rozi thi
Siyahi hai mere ayyam mei lauh-e-dabistan ki
Daregh! ah-e-sahar-gah kar-e-bad-e-subh karti hai
Ki hoti hai ziyada sard-mehri shama-ruyan ki
Mujhe apne juunun ki be-takalluf parda-dari thi
Va-lekin kya karun aave jo rusvai gareban ki
Hunar paida kiya hai main ne hairat-azmai mei
Ki jauhar aaine ka har palak hai chashm-e-hairan ki
Khudaya kis qadar ahl-e-nazar ne khaak chhani hai
Ki hain sad-rakhna juun ghirbal divaren gulistan ki
Huwa sharm-e-tahi-dasti se se vo bhi sar-nigun akhir
Bas-ai zakhm-e-jigar ab dekh le shorish namak-dan ki
Bayad-e-garmi-e-sohbat ba-rang-e-shoala dahke hai
Chhupaun kyuki 'Ghalib' sozishen dagh-e-numayan ki
Junun tohmat-kash-e-taskin na ho gar shadmani ki
Namak-pash-e-kharash-e-dil hai lazzat zindagani ki
Kashkash-ha-e-hasti se kare kya sai-e-azadi
Hui zanjir-e-mauj-e-ab ko fursat ravani ki
Na khinch ai sai-e-dast-na-rasa zulf-e-tamanna ko
Pareshan-tar hai mu-e-khama se tadbir maani ki
Kahan ham bhi rag-o-pai rakhte hain insaf bahattar hai
Na khinche taqat-e-khamyaza tohmat na-tavani ki
Takalluf-bartaraf farhad aur itni subukdasti
Khayal asan tha lekin khvab-e-khusrav ne girani ki
Par-az-murdan bhi divana ziyarat-gah-e-tiflan hai
Sharar-e-sang ne turbat pe meri gul-fishani ki
'Asad' ko boriye mei dhar ke phunka mauj-e-hasti ne
Faqiri mei bhi baaqi hai shararat naujavani ki
