Ragon mai dorte phirne ke hum nahin qayal

Her ek baat pe kahte ho tum ke tu kya hai
Tum he kaho ke ye andaze guftgo kya hai.

Ragon mai dorte phirne ke hum nahin qayal
Jab aankh he se na tapka to wo lahoo kya hai.

Jala hai jism to dil bhi jal gaya hoga
kuredte jo ab raakhe justjoo kya hai.

Rahi na taakte guftaar aur ager ho bhi
To kis umeed pe kahte ho kahte hi aarzo kya hai.

Hua hai sheh ka musahib phire hai itrata
Vagerna shaher main "Ghalib" aabro kya hai
