dil-e-naadaa tujhe huaa kya hai?
aakhir is dard kee dawa kya hai

ham hain mushtaaq aur woh bezaar
ya ilaahee ! yeh maajra kya hai?

main bhee munh mein zabaan rakhta hoon
kaash ! poocho ki "mujraa kya hai"?

jab ki tujh bin naheen koee maujood
fir ye hangaama, ai khuda, kya hai


ye paree chehara log kaise hain?
ghamza-o-ishwa-o-'adaa kya hai?

shikan-e-zulf-e-ambaree kyon hai?
nigah-e-chashm-e-soorma sa kya hai?

sabja-o-gul kahaan se aaye hain?
abr kya cheez hai, hawa kya hai?

hamko unse wafa ki hai um-meed
jo naheen jaante wafaa kya hai


"haan bhala kar tera bhala hoga"
aur darvesh kee sada kya hai?

jaan tum par nisaar karta hoon
main naheen jaanata duaa kya hai


maine maana ki kuchch naheen 'Ghalib'
muft haath aaye to bura kya hai ?
