Ghazal 234

aah ko chahiye ek umr asar hote tak

dil-e-nadan tujhe hua kya hai

hazaron KHwahishen aisi ki har KHwahish pe dam nikle

koi ummid bar nahin aati

ye na thi hamari qismat ki visal-e-yar hota

Sher 363

ham ko ma.alūm hai jannat kī haqīqat lekin

dil ke ḳhush rakhne ko 'ġhālib' ye ḳhayāl achchhā hai

hum ko malum hai jannat ki haqiqat lekin

dil ke KHush rakhne ko 'ghaalib' ye KHayal achchha hai

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

Ghalib, a worthless person, this love has made of me

otherwise a man of substance I once used to be

is sādgī pe kaun na mar jaa.e ai ḳhudā

laḌte haiñ aur haath meñ talvār bhī nahīñ

is sadgi pe kaun na mar jae ai KHuda

laDte hain aur hath mein talwar bhi nahin

اک گرم آہ کی تو ہزاروں کے گھر جلے

مشکل ہے زبس کلام میرا اے دل

اس رشتے میں لاکھ تار ہوں بلکہ سوا

یاران نبی سے رکھ تولّا باللہ

یاران نبی میں تھی لڑائی کس میں

چرخ تک دھوم ہے کس دھوم سے آیا سہرا

خوش ہو اے بخت کہ ہے آج ترے سر سہرا

ہم نشیں تارے ہیں اور چاند شہاب الدین خاں
 

Unpublished Ghazal 248

pani se sag-gazida Dare jis tarah asad

اور تو رکھنے کو ہم دہر میں کیا رکھتے تھے

عاشق نقاب جلوۂ جانانہ چاہیے

کنج میں بیٹھا رہوں یوں پر کھلا

آپ نے مسنی الضر کہا ہے تو سہی
