Har ek baat pe kehte ho tum K 'também kya hai'?
TumheeN kaho K yeh Andaaz-e-guftgoo kya hai?
Na sho'le Mein yeh karishma na Barq Mein ye ada
koee bataao K woh shoKH-e-tund_KHoo kya hai?
Chipak Raha Hai Badan par lahoo se pairaahan
Hamaaree jeb ko ab haajat-e-rafoo kya hai?
Jalaa hai jism jahaaN dil bhee hoga JAL Gaya
kuredate ho jo ab raakh, justjoo kya hai?
Ragon Mein dauRte phirne ke presunto Nahin qaayal
Jab aaNkh oi se na Tapka para Phir lahoo kya hai?
Woh cheez jiske liye Hamko azeez bahisht ho
Siwaay baada-e-gul_faam-e-mushkaboo kya hai?
PiyooN agar sharaab Khum bhee Dekh Loon fazer Chaar
Yeh sheesha-o-Qadah-o-Kooza-o-suboo kya hai?
Rahee na taaqat-e-guftaar, agar aur bhee ho
Para kis ummeed pe kahiye ke Aarzoo kya hai?
Bana hai shaah ka musaahib, Phire hai itraata
Wagarna shahar Mein 'Ghalib' kya kee aabroo hai?
TumheeN kaho K yeh Andaaz-e-guftgoo kya hai?
