ZIKR US PARI-WASH KA, AUR PHIR BAYAAN APNA 

Zikr us parii-wash ka, aur phir bayaaN apnaa
Ban gaya raqib aaKHir thaa jo raazdaaN apnaa

Mai wo kyuN bahut pite bazm E ghair meN yaarab
Aaj hi hua manzoor, un ko imtihaaN apna

Manzar ik bulandee par aur ham banaa sakte
‘arsh se udhar hotaa kaash K makaaN apnaa

DeN vo jis qadar zillat hum haNsi meN TaleNge
Baaray aashna nikla unka paasbaaN apna

Dard E dil likhuN kab tak? jaauN unko dikhlaa duN
UNgliyaaN figaar apni KHaamaa KHuN_chakaaN apnaa

Ghiste-ghiste mit jaata aap ne ‘abas badlaa
Nang E sajdaa se mere sang E aastaaN apna

Ta kare na ghammazee, kar liya hai dushman ko
Dost kii shikaayat meN hum ne hum-zabaaN apna

Ham kahaaN ke daanaa the? kis hunar meN yaktaa the?
Be_sabab huaa ‘Ghalib’ dushman aasmaaN apnaa
