ki meri jan mein qarar nahi hai
taqat-e-bedad-e-intazar nahi hai
dete hain jannat hayat-e-dahar ke badle
nasha ba andaza-e-Khumar nahi hai
giriya nikle hai teri bazm se mujh ko
haye! k rone pe ikhtiyar nahi hai
ham se abas hai guman-e-ranjish-e-khatir
khak mein ushshaq ki gubar nahi hai
dil se utha lutf-e-jalwa haye mani
gair-e-gul aina-e-bahar nahi hai
qatl ka mere kiya hai ahad to bare
waye! agar ahad ustawar nahi hai
tu ne qasam maikashi ki khai hai ?Ghalib?
teri qasm ka kuch aitabar nahi hai
taqat-e-bedad-e-intazar nahi hai
dete hain jannat hayat-e-dahar ke badle
nasha ba andaza-e-Khumar nahi hai
giriya nikle hai teri bazm se mujh ko
haye! k rone pe ikhtiyar nahi hai
ham se abas hai guman-e-ranjish-e-khatir
khak mein ushshaq ki gubar nahi hai
dil se utha lutf-e-jalwa haye mani
gair-e-gul aina-e-bahar nahi hai
qatl ka mere kiya hai ahad to bare
waye! agar ahad ustawar nahi hai
tu ne qasam maikashi ki khai hai ?Ghalib?
teri qasm ka kuch aitabar nahi hai
