yaad hai shādī meñ bhī hañgāma-e-yā-rab mujhe

sub.ha-e-zāhid huā hai ḳhanda zer-e-lab mujhe

hai kushād-e-ḳhātir-e-vā-basta dar rahn-e-suḳhan

thā tilism-e-qufl-e-abjad ḳhāna-e-maktab mujhe

yā rab is āshuftagī kī daad kis se chāhiye

rashk āsā.ish pe hai zindāniyoñ kī ab mujhe

tab.a hai mushtāq-e-lazzat-hā-e-hasrat kyā karūñ

aarzū se hai shikast-e-ārzū matlab mujhe

dil lagā kar aap bhī 'ġhālib' mujhī se ho ga.e

ishq se aate the maane mīrzā sāhab mujhe
