Na kaho gar bura kare koi - Bakhsh do gar khataa karay koi

Ibn-E-Mariyam Huaa Karay Koi
Mere Dukh Ki Dawaa Karay Koi

Shara-o-Aain Par Madaar Sahi

Aise Qaatil Ka Kyaa Karay Koi

Baat Par Waan Zubaan Katati Hai

Wo Kahen - Aur Suna Karaye Koi

Bak Raha Hoon Junoon Main Kya Kya

Kuchh Na Samjhe Khudaa Karay Koi

Na Suno Gar Buraa Kahay Koi

Na Kaho Gar Buraa Karay Koi

Rok Lo Gar Ghalat Chalay Koi

Bakhsh Do Gar Khataa Karay Koi

Kaun Hai Jo Nahin Hai Haajatmand

Kis ki Haajat Rawaa Karay Koi

Kya Kiyaa Khijar Nay Sikandar Say 

Ab Kisay Rahnumaa Karay Koi

Jab Tawaqqo Hi uth Gayi “Ghalib”

Kyun Kisi Ka Gilaa Karay Koi
                                "Mirza Ghalib"
