Aaina kyu na doon ke tamasha kahe jise
Aisa kaha se laau ke tujhasa kahe jise

Hasrat ne la rakha teri bazm-e-khayal me
Guldasta-e-nigaah suveda kahe jise

Phoonka hai kisne goshe mohabbat mein aye khuda
Afasuun-e-intazar tamanna kahe jise

Sar par hajum-e-dard-e-garibi se daliye
Wo ek musht-e-khak ke sahara kahe jise

Hai chashm-e-tar me hasarat-e-diidar se niha
Shauq-e-ina gusekhta dariya kahe jise

Darakar hai shiguftan-e-gul haye aish ko
Sub_h-e-bahar paba-e-miina kahe jise

“ghalib” bura na man jo vaiz bura kahe
Aisa bhii koii hai ke sab achchha kahe jise

Qurbaton me bhi judai ke zamaane maange,
Dil woh be-mehr ke rone ke bahane maange,

Hum na hote to kisi aur ke charche hote,
Halqat-e-shehr to kehne ko fasaane maange,

Yehi dil tha ke tarassta tha maraasim ke liye,
Ab yehi tark-e-talluq ke bahaane maange,

Apna yeh haal ke jee haar chuke lutt bhi chuke,
Aur mohabbat wohi andaaz puraane maange,

Zindagi hum tere daaghon se rahe sharminda,
Aur tu hai ke sadaaa aayina-khaane maange,

Dil kisi haal pe qaane hi nahin jaane faraz,
Mil gaye tum bhi to kya aur na jaane maange..

Dukh Dard Ki Soghaat Hai Duniya Teri Kya hai
Ashkon Bhari Barsaat Hai Duniya Teri Kya hai

Kuch log Yahan Noor-e-Seher Dhoond Rahe Hain
Tareek Si Eik Raat Hai Duniya Teri Kya hai

Taqdir Key Chehrey Ki Shikan Dekh Raha Hon
Aayiena e Halaat Hai Dunya Teri Kya hai

Paband e Mashiyet Hai Tanafas Bhi Nazar Bhi
Eik Juzia-e-Lamhaat Hai Duniya Teri Kya hai

Majrooh Hai Taqadas , Taqadas Ki Haqiqat
Roodaad e Kharabaat Hai Duniya Teri Kya hai

“Saghar” Mein Chalaktey Hain Samavaat Key Asraar
Saaqi Ki Karamaat Hai Duniya Teri Kya hai

Zara si der ko aaye the khaawb aaNkhoN mei
Phir us ke bad musalsal azaab aaNkhoN mei

Wo jis ke nam ki nisbat se raushani tha wujood
Khattak rahaa hai wohi aaftaab aaNkhoN mei

Jinhen mata-E-dil-O-jaN samajh rahe the ham
Wo aa’iine bhi hue behijaab aaNkhoN mei

Ajab tarah ka hai mausam K khak uRti hai
Wo din bhi the k khile the gulaab aaNkhoN mei

Mere Ghazaal teri wahshaton ki khair, K hai
Bahut dinoN se bahut iztaraab aaNkhoN mei

Na jane kaisi qayaamat ka peshkhema hai
Ye uljhaneN teri be-intasaab aaNkhoN mei

Mar bhi jaaon to kahan log bhula hi dein ge,
Lafz mere, mere honey ki gawaahi dein ge…

Hawaa ke hote huye roshni tu kar jaye,
Meri tarah se koi zindagi tu kar jaye,

Tamaam umar tayeb mein hi basar hogi,
Teri taraf se nazar be-rukhi to kar jaye,

Chiragh-e-dil teh mehraab jaan na chore,
Hawaa ke sath koi dushmani to kar jaye,

Phir is ke baad jahan mein kahin panaah nahin,
Tere huzoor yeh jaan sarkashi tou kar jaye,

Woh dushmani ke bhi kaabil na mujh ko chore ga,
Us aadmi se yeh dil dosti tou ka jaye…

DaiKh Kaisi Qayamat Si Barpa Hui Hai Aashiyanon Pay IQbaL…!
Jo Lahoo Se Tameer Huye Thay, Paani Se Bah Gaye…!

Dard phir jaaga,purana zakhm phir taaza hua
fasl e gul kitnay qareeb aaii hai,andaza hua

Subha yuun nikli,sanwar kay jis terha koi dulhan
shabnam aawaiza hui,rang e shafaq ghaza hua

Haath meray bhool bethay dastaken dainay ka fun
band mujh par jab say us kay ghar ka darqaza hua

Rail ki seeti men kesay hijr ki tamheed thi
us ko rukhsat kar kay ghar loatay to andaza hua

(Seeti:Whistle)(Dastaken:Knock on the door)(Fun:Art)

Waqt ke sath anaasar bhi rahe sazish mein,
Jal gaye pairr kabhi dhoop kabhi barish mein,

Woh tou ik saada-o-kam shauq ka talib nikla,
Hum ne naahiq hi ganwaya usey aarayesh mein,

Zindagi ki koi mehroomi nahin yaad ayi,
Jab talak hu mthey tere qurb ki asaayesh mein,

Aik dunya ka qaseeda tha agarche mere naam,
Lutf aata tha kisi shakhs ki fehmayesh mein,

Us ki ankhen bhi meri tarah se girdi kahin aur,
Khawb ka qarz barh jata hai ik khawish mein…

(Pairr:Tree)(Lutf:Enjoyment)(Qarz:Owing)(Asaayesh:Luxury)(Ganwaya:Loose)

Agar ban mein rehna mukadar hai,
Aur yeh aik teh-shuda amar bhi hai,
Ke har ban mein bas bherriye muntazir hain mere,
Tou yeh sochti hoon,
Ke is soorat-e-haal mein,
Kyon na phir,
Apni marzi ke jungle mein ja basoon…

(Mukadar:Fate)(Teh-Shuda:Pre-Planned)(Soorat-e-haal:Situation)
