sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

koi viraani si viraani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayaa

hai kahaan tamannaa kaa dusraa qadam yaa-rab
ham ne dasht-e-imkaan ko ek naqsh-e-paa paayaa

dam liyaa thaa na qayaamat ne hanuz
phir tiraa vaqt-e-safar yaad aayaa

huaa hai shah kaa musaahib phire hai itraataa
vagarna shahr mein 'ghaalib' ki aabru kyaa hai

'ghaalib' chhuTi sharaab par ab bhi kabhi kabhi
