mohabbat ġhazal hai ibādat ġhazal hai
ġhazal ma.arifat hai sharī.at ġhazal hai
ġhinā zīrakī aur latāfat ġhazal hai
qasam le lo kasrat meñ vahdat ġhazal hai
taḳhayyul tasavvur tashāboh tavāzun
is arba.a kī yakjā.ī sūrat ġhazal
har ik band har masnavī tuul qāmat
ġhazal arz o jauhar hai qīmat ġhazal hai
ḳhudī ko liye be-ḳhudī ko sambhāle
itā.at ġhazal hai baġhāvat ġhazal hai
ġhazal gardish o mehvar o dā.era hai
ġhazal fard-e-vāhid hai millat ġhazal hai
baham tanz o tausīf o shukr o shikāyat
fasāhat ġhazal hai balāġhat ġhazal hai
harīfoñ se ye qaul-e-'dīvāna' kah do
ġhazal hai jo hasrat to hasrat ġhazal hai
