sab kahaaN kuchh laalaaogul men numaayaaN ho gaiin
Khaak men kyaa suuraten hongii ke pinhaaN ho gaiin

ranj se khuu gar huaa insaaN to miT jaataa hai ranj
mushkilen mujha par paDii itanii ke aasaaN ho gaiin

yuuN hi gar rotaa rahaa "Ghalib" to ai ahalejahaaN
dekhanaa in bastiaon ko tum ke viiraaN ho gaiin
