kyoṅ gad.riśh-e-mudām se ghabrā na jāye dil
insāṇ hūṇ, pyālā-o-sāġhar nahīṅ hūṇ maiṅ
yā rab zamānā mujhko miṭātā hai kis liye
lauh-e-jahāṇ pe haf.ra-e-muqar.rar nahīṅ hūṇ maiṅ
had chāhiye sazā meṅ aqūbat ke vāste
ākhir gunāhaġhār hūṇ qāfir nahīṅ hūṇ maiṅ
kis vāste azīz nahīṅ jānte mujhe
lāl-o-zamur.rad-o-zar-o-gauhar nahīṅ hūṇ maiṅ
rakhte ho tum qadam merī āṇkhoṅ se kyoṅ direg
rutbe meṅ mahar-o-māh se kamtar nahīṅ hūṇ maiṅ
karte ho mujhko man-e-qadam bāse kis liye
kyā āsmāṇ ke bhī barābar nahīṅ hūṇ maiṅ
ġhālib vazīfākhvār ho, do śhāh ko duā
vo din gaye ki kahte the, naukar nahīṅ hūṇ maiṅ
