dil mera soz-e-nihan se bemuhaba jal gaya
atish-e-khamosh k manind goya jal gaya
dil mein zauq-e-wasl-o-yad-e-yar tak baki nahi
ag is ghar mein lagi aisi k jo tha jal gaya
main adam se bhi pare hun warna gafil! barha
meri ah-e-atshin se bal-e-anqa jal gaya
arz kije jauhar-e-andesha ki garmi kahan
kuch khayal aya tha wehshat ka k sehra jal gaya
dil nahi, tujh ko dikhta warna dagon ki bahar
is charagan ka, karun kya, karfarma jal gaya
main hun aur afsurdagi ki arazu "Ghalib"! k dil
dekh kar tarz-e-tapak-e-ahl-e-duniya jal gaya
