H'azaaron Khwahishen

Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle
 Bohat niklay mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle
 Nikalna khuld se aadam ka soonte aaye hain lekin
 Bahot be-aabru hokar tere kooche se hum nikle
 Bharam khul jaaye zaalim! teri qaamat ki daraazi ka
 Agar is tarahe par pech-o-kham ka pech-o-kham nikle
 Magar likhvaaye koi usko khat, to hum se likhvaaye
 Hui subaha, aur ghar se kaan par rakh kar qalam nikle
 Mohabbat mein nahin hai farq jeenay aur marnay ka
 Usi ko dekh kar jeetay hain, jis kaafir pe dam nikle
 Zara kar jor seene par ki teer-e-pursitam niklejo
 Wo nikle to dil nikle, jo dil nikle to dam nikle
 Khuda ke waaste parda na kaabe se uthaa zaalim
 Kaheen aisa na ho yaan bhi wahi kaafir sanam nikle
 Kahaan maikhane ka darwaaza Ghalib aur kahaan vaaiz
 Par itna jaantay hain kal voh jaata tha ke ham nikle
 Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle
 Bohat niklay mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle...
