1. hazāroñ ḳhvāhisheñ aisī ki har ḳhvāhish pe dam nikle, bahut nikle mire armān lekin phir bhī kam nikle
2. Kahaan maikhane ka darwaaza Ghalib aur kahaan waiz, Par itna jaantay hain kal woh jaata tha ke ham niklein
3. un ke dekhe se jo aa jaatī hai muñh par raunaq, vo samajhte haiñ ki bīmār kā haal achchhā hai
4. haiñ aur bhī duniyā meñ suḳhan-var bahut achchhe, kahte haiñ ki 'ġhālib' kā hai andāz-e-bayāñ aur
5. bāzīcha-e-atfāl hai duniyā mire a, hotā hai shab-o-roz tamāshā mire a
6. ishq ne 'ġhālib' nikammā kar diyā, varna ham bhī aadmī kaam ke
7. is sādgī pe kaun na mar jaa.e ai ḳhudā, laḌte haiñ aur haath meñ talvār bhī nahīñ
8. mohabbat meñ nahīñ hai farq jiine aur marne kā, usī ko dekh kar jiite haiñ jis kāfir pe dam nikle
9. ye na thī hamārī qismat ki visāl-e-yār hotā, agar aur jiite rahte yahī intizār hotā
10. ishq par zor nahīñ hai ye vo ātish 'ġhālib', ki lagā.e na l aur bujhā.e na bane
11. rañj se ḳhūgar huā insāñ to miT jaatā hai rañj, mushkileñ mujh par paḌīñ itnī ki āsāñ ho ga.iiñ
12. reḳhte ke tumhīñ ustād nahīñ ho 'ġhālib', kahte haiñ agle zamāne meñ koī 'mīr' bhī thā
13. ham ko un se vafā kī hai ummīd, jo nahīñ jānte vafā kyā hai
14. a aatī thī hāl-e-dil pe hañsī, ab kisī baat par nahīñ aatī
15. ham ne maanā ki taġhāful na karoge lekin, ḳhaak ho jā.eñge ham tum ko ḳhabar hote tak
16. merī qismat meñ ġham gar itnā thā, dil bhī yā-rab ka.ī diye hote
17. karne ga.e us se taġhāful kā ham gila, kī ek hī nigāh ki bas ḳhaak ho ga.e
18. ham vahāñ haiñ jahāñ se ham ko bhī, kuchh hamārī ḳhabar nahīñ aatī
19. hogā koī aisā bhī ki 'ġhālib' ko na jaane, shā.ir to vo achchhā hai pa badnām bahut hai
20. har ek baat pe kahte ho tum ki tū kyā hai, tumhīñ kaho ki ye andāz-e-guftugū kyā hai
