baaziichaa-e-atfaal hai duniyaa mere aage
hotaa hai shab-o-roz tamaashaa mere aage

ik khel hai aurang-e-sulemaaN mere nazdiik
ik baat hai ijaaz-e-masiihaa mere aage

juz naam nahiiN suurat-e-aalam mujhe manzuur
juz vahm nahiiN hastii-e-ashyaa mere aage

hotaa hai nihaaN gard meN sehraa mere hote
ghistaa hai jabiiN Khaak pe dariyaa mere aage

mat puuchh ke kyaa haal hai meraa tere piichhe
tuu dekh ke kyaa rang hai teraa mere aage

sach kahte ho Khud’biin-o-Khud’aaraa huuN na kyuuN huuN
baiThaa hai but-e-aa’iinaa-siimaa mere aage

phir dekhiye andaaz-e-gul’afshaanii-e-guftaar
rakh de ko’ii paimaanaa-e-sahbaa mere aage

nafrat ka gumaaN guzre hai maiN rashk se guzraa
kyuuN kar kahuuN lo naam naa us kaa mere aage

iimaaN mujhe roke hai jo khiiNche hai mujhe kufr
kaabaa mere piichhe hai kaliisaa mere aage

aashiq huuN pe maashuuq-farebii hai mera kaam
majnuuN ko buraa kahtii hai lailaa mere aage

Khush hote haiN par vasl meN yuuN mar nahiiN jaate
aayii shab-e-hijraaN kii tamannaa mere aage

hai mauj’zan ik qulzum-e-KhuuN kaash! yahii ho
aataa hai abhii dekhiye kyaa-kyaa mere aage

go haath ko jumbish nahiiN aaNkhoN meN to dam hai
rahne do abhii saaGhar-o-miinaa mere aage

ham’peshaa-o-ham’mashrab-o-ham’raaz hai meraa
“Ghalib” ko buraa kyuuN kaho achchhaa mere aage
