aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
na apne zabt ko rusvā karo satā ke mujhe
ḳhudā ke vāste dekho na muskurā ke mujhe
na apne zabt ko ruswa karo sata ke mujhe
KHuda ke waste dekho na muskura ke mujhe
ham se koī ta.alluq-e-ḳhātir to hai use
vo yaar bā-vafā na sahī bevafā to hai
hum se koi talluq-e-KHatir to hai use
wo yar ba-wafa na sahi bewafa to hai
sair kar duniyā kī ġhāfil zindagānī phir kahāñ
zindagī gar kuchh rahī to ye javānī phir kahāñ
sair kar duniya ki ghafil zindagani phir kahan
zindagi gar kuchh rahi to ye jawani phir kahan
ishq ne 'ġhālib' nikammā kar diyā
varna ham bhī aadmī the kaam ke
Ghalib, a worthless person, this love has made of me
otherwise a man of substance I once used to be
ishq ne 'ghaalib' nikamma kar diya
warna hum bhi aadmi the kaam ke
ḳhud ko bikharte dekhte haiñ kuchh kar nahīñ paate haiñ
phir bhī log ḳhudāoñ jaisī bāteñ karte haiñ
KHud ko bikharte dekhte hain kuchh kar nahin pate hain
phir bhi log KHudaon jaisi baaten karte hain
