bāzīcha-e-atfāl hai duniyā mere aage
bāzīcha-e-atfāl hai duniyā mire aage
hotā hai shab-o-roz tamāshā mire aage
ik khel hai aurañg-e-sulaimāñ mire nazdīk
ik baat hai ejāz-e-masīhā mire aage
juz naam nahīñ sūrat-e-ālam mujhe manzūr
juz vahm nahīñ hastī-e-ashiyā mire aage
hotā hai nihāñ gard meñ sahrā mire hote
ghistā hai jabīñ ḳhaak pe dariyā mire aage
mat pūchh ki kyā haal hai merā tire pīchhe
tū dekh ki kyā rañg hai terā mire aage
sach kahte ho ḳhud-bīn o ḳhud-ārā huuñ na kyuuñ huuñ
baiThā hai but-e-ā.ina-sīmā mire aage
phir dekhiye andāz-e-gul-afshānī-e-guftār
rakh de koī paimāna-e-sahbā mire aage
nafrat kā gumāñ guzre hai maiñ rashk se guzrā
kyūñkar kahūñ lo naam na un kā mire aage
īmāñ mujhe roke hai jo khīñche hai mujhe kufr
ka.aba mire pīchhe hai kalīsā mire aage
āshiq huuñ pa māshūq-farebī hai mirā kaam
majnūñ ko burā kahtī hai lailā mire aage
ḳhush hote haiñ par vasl meñ yuuñ mar nahīñ jaate
aa.ī shab-e-hijrāñ kī tamannā mire aage
hai maujzan ik qulzum-e-ḳhūñ kaash yahī ho
aatā hai abhī dekhiye kyā kyā mire aage
go haath ko jumbish nahīñ āñkhoñ meñ to dam hai
rahne do abhī sāġhar-o-mīnā mire aage
ham-pesha o ham-mashrab o hamrāz hai merā
'ġhālib' ko burā kyuuñ kaho achchhā mire aage
bāzīcha-e-atfāl hai duniyā mere aage
