bijlī ik kauñd ga.ī āñkhoñ ke aage to kyā
baat karte ki maiñ lab-tishna-e-taqrīr bhī thā
yūsuf us ko kahūñ aur kuchh na kahe ḳhair huī
gar bigaḌ baiThe to maiñ lā.iq-e-tāzīr bhī thā
dekh kar ġhair ko ho kyuuñ na kalejā ThanDā
naala kartā thā vale tālib-e-tāsīr bhī thā
peshe meñ aib nahīñ rakhiye na farhād ko naam
ham hī āshufta-saroñ meñ vo javāñ-mīr bhī thā
ham the marne ko khaḌe paas na aayā na sahī
āḳhir us shoḳh ke tarkash meñ koī tiir bhī thā
pakḌe jaate haiñ farishtoñ ke likhe par nā-haq
aadmī koī hamārā dam-e-tahrīr bhī thā
reḳhte ke tumhīñ ustād nahīñ ho 'ġhālib'
kahte haiñ agle zamāne meñ koī 'mīr' bhī thā
huī tāḳhīr to kuchh bāis-e-tāḳhīr bhī thā
aap aate the magar koī ināñ-gīr bhī thā

tū mujhe bhul gayā ho to patā batlā duñ
kabhī fitrāk meñ tere koī naḳhchīr bhī thā
qaid meñ hai tere wahshī ko wahī zulf kī yaad
