a 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

Kabhi zindagi me kisik liay mut rona**
q k vo''tumhare ansoun k kabil nahi ho ga''
or ''vo'' jo is ''kabil'' ho ga vo tumhe ''rone'' nahi de ga''*****
