log tanhai ka kis darja gila karte hain
log tanhā.ī kā kis darja gilā karte haiñ
aur fankār to tanhā hī rahā karte haiñ
vo tabassum hai ki 'ġhālib' kī tarah-dār ġhazal
der tak us kī balāġhat ko paḌhā karte haiñ
koī jaadū koī jalva koī mastī koī mauj
ham inhīñ chand sahāroñ pe jiyā karte haiñ
din pe yāroñ ko añdhere kā gumāñ hotā hai
ham añdhere meñ kiran DhūñDh liyā karte haiñ
bastiyāñ kuchh huiiñ vīrān to mātam kaisā
kuchh ḳharābe bhī to ābād huā karte haiñ
sunñe vāloñ kī hai taufīq suneñ yā na suneñ
baat kahne kī jo hai ham to kahā karte haiñ
sāhil o bahr ke aa.iin salāmat na rahe
ab to sāhil se bhī tūfān uThā karte haiñ
log bātoñ meñ bahā dete haiñ is daur kā dard
aur ash.ār meñ ham Dhaal liyā karte haiñ
log tanhai ka kis darja gila karte hain
aur fankar to tanha hi raha karte hain
wo tabassum hai ki 'ghaalib' ki tarah-dar ghazal
der tak us ki balaghat ko paDha karte hain
koi jadu koi jalwa koi masti koi mauj
hum inhin chand sahaaron pe jiya karte hain
din pe yaron ko andhere ka guman hota hai
hum andhere mein kiran DhunDh liya karte hain
bastiyan kuchh huin viran to matam kaisa
kuchh KHarabe bhi to aabaad hua karte hain
sunne walon ki hai taufiq sunen ya na sunen
baat kahne ki jo hai hum to kaha karte hain
sahil o bahr ke aain salamat na rahe
ab to sahil se bhi tufan uTha karte hain
log baaton mein baha dete hain is daur ka dard
aur ashaar mein hum Dhaal liya karte hain
