Aaina kyuun na duun ke tamaashaa kahain jise
aisaa kahaan se laaun ke tujhasaa kahain jise
hasarat ne laa rakhaa terii bazm e khayaal main
guladastaa e nigaah suvedaa kahain jise
phuunkaa hai ksane goshe muhabbat main ai Khudaa
afasuun e intazaar tamanaa kahain jise
sar par huju e dard e gariibi se daliye
vo ek musht e khaak ke saharaa kahain jise
hai chashm e tar main hasarat e diidaar se nihaan
shauq e inaan gusekhtaa dariyaa kahain jise
darakaar hai shiguftan e gul haaye aish ko
subh e bahaar panbaa e miina kahain jilse
Ghalib buraa na maan jo vaaiz buraa kahe
aisaa bhii koii hai ke sab achcha kahain jise.
