bazm se jab nigar uThta hai

bazm se jab nigār uThtā hai

mere dil se ġhubār uThtā hai

maiñ jo baiThā huuñ to vo ḳhush-qāmat

dekh lo baar baar uThtā hai

terī sūrat ko dekh kar mirī jaañ

ḳhud-baḳhud dil meñ pyaar uThtā hai

us kī gul-gasht se ravish-ba-ravish

rañg hī rañg yaar uThtā hai

tere jaate hī is ḳharābe se

shor-e-girya hazār uThtā hai

kaun hai jis ko jaañ 'azīz nahīñ

le tirā jāñ-nisār uThtā hai

saf-ba-saf aa khaḌe hue haiñ ġhazāl

dasht se ḳhāksār uThtā hai

hai ye tesha ki ek sho'la sā

bar-sar-e-kohsār uThtā hai

karb-e-tanhā.ī hai vo shai ki ḳhudā

aadmī ko pukār uThtā hai

tū ne phir kasb-e-zar kā zikr kiyā

kahīñ ham se ye baar uThtā hai

lo vo majbūr shahr-e-sahrā se

aaj dīvāna-vār uThtā hai

apne yaañ to zamāne vāloñ kā

roz hī e'tibār uThtā hai

'jaun' uThtā hai yuuñ kaho yā'nī

'mīr'-o-'ġhālib' kā yaar uThtā hai

bazm se jab nigar uThta hai

mere dil se ghubar uThta hai

main jo baiTha hun to wo KHush-qamat

dekh lo bar bar uThta hai

teri surat ko dekh kar meri jaan

KHud-baKHud dil mein pyar uThta hai

us ki gul-gasht se rawish-ba-rawish

rang hi rang yar uThta hai

tere jate hi is KHarabe se

shor-e-girya hazar uThta hai

kaun hai jis ko jaan 'aziz nahin

le tera jaan-nisar uThta hai

saf-ba-saf aa khaDe hue hain ghazal

dasht se KHaksar uThta hai

hai ye tesha ki ek sho'la sa

bar-sar-e-kohsar uThta hai

karb-e-tanhai hai wo shai ki KHuda

aadmi ko pukar uThta hai

tu ne phir kasb-e-zar ka zikr kiya

kahin hum se ye bar uThta hai

lo wo majbur shahr-e-sahra se

aaj diwana-war uThta hai

apne yan to zamane walon ka

roz hi e'tibar uThta hai

'jaun' uThta hai yun kaho ya'ni

'mir'-o-'ghaalib' ka yar uThta hai
