baat kam kiije zehaanat ko chhupaate rahiye
ye nayaa shah’r hai kuch dost banaate rahiye

(zehaanat : intellect)

dushmanii laakh sahii Khatm na kiije rishtaa
dil mile yaa na mile haath milaate rahiye

kabhii kabhii yuuN bhii hamne apne jii ko behlaayaa hai
jin baatoN ko Khud nahiiN samjhe auroN ko samjhaayaa hai

Mir-o-Ghalib ke sheroN ne kiskaa saath nibhaayaa hai
saste giitoN ko likh likh kar hamne ghar banvaayaa hai

—-

dil meN na ho jurrat to muhabbat nahiiN miltii
Khairaat meN itnii baRii daulat nahiiN miltii

kuch log yuuN hii shah’r meN hamse bhii Khafaa haiN
har ek se apnii bhii tabiiyat nahiiN miltii

(tabiiyat : nature)

insaan meN haivaan yahaaN bhii hai vahaaN bhii
Allah nigehbaan yahaaN bhii hai vahaaN bhii

KhuuN-Khaar darindoN ke faqat naam alag haiN
har shah’r bayaabaan yahaaN bhii hai vahaaN bhii

(bayaabaan : deserted)

rahmaan kii qudrat ho ke bhagvaan kii muurat
har khel kaa maidaan yahaaN bhii hai vahaaN bhii

uThtaa hai dil-o-jaaN se dhuaaN donoN taraf hii
ye Mir kaa diivaan yahaaN bhii hai vahaaN bhii
