maut mangi thi KHudai to nahin mangi thi

KHuda jaane ajal ko pahle kis par rahm aaega

hath uljha hai gareban mein to ghabrao na yas

diwana-war dauD ke koi lipaT na jae

na din ke hue mohsin hum aur na duniya ke

mujhe ai naKHuda aaKHir kisi ko munh dikhana hai

ghaalib aur mirza yagana ka

kyun kisi se wafa kare koi

gunah gin ke main kyun apne dil ko chhoTa karun

yas is charKH-e-zamana-saz ka kya etibar

kisi ke ho raho achchhi nahin ye aazadi

payam-e-zer-e-lab aisa ki kuchh suna na gaya

yagana wahi fateh-e-lakhknau hain

parda-e-hijr wahi hasti-e-mauhum thi yas

duniya se yas jaane ko ji chahta nahin
