Bazame shahenshah mein ashaar ka daftar khula
Rakhiyo yarab! ye ganjenai gauhar khula
Shab huie, phir anjum rakhshandah ka manzar khula
Is takalluf se ki goya butkadai ka dar khulaGar cheh hon deewana, par kiyon dost ka khaon faraib
Aastin mein dashnah pinhan, hath mein nashtar khula
Go na samjhon uski batein, go na paon uska bhaid
Par yeh kya kam hai ki, mujh se woh pari paikar khula
Hai khayale husn mein husne amal ka sa khayal
Khuld ka ek dar hai meri gore ke ander khula
Munh na khulnai par hai woh aalam ki dakha hi nahin
Zulf se badkar niqab us shokh ke munh par khula
Dar pak rahne ko kaha kah ke kaisa phir gaya
Jitne arse mein mera lipta hua bistar khula
Kiyon andhaire hai shabe gam? hai kiyon balaon ka nuzool
Aai udher hi ko rahey ga deedai akhter khula?
Kaya rahon gurbat mein khush, jab hua hwadis ka ye hal
Namah lata hai, watan se, namah bar aksar khula
Uski ummat mein hon main, maire rahain kiyon kam band
Waste jis shahei ke, Ghalib! gunbade bai dar khula
