Koi umeed bar nahi ati
koi umeed bar nhi aati..
koi soorat nazar nahi ati
mout ka aik din muayyan hai
neend kyion raat bhar nahi ati
aage ati thi haal-e- dil pe hansi
ab kisi baat pe nhi ati
janta hun sawab e taa'at-o-zohad
paar tabiyat idhar nahi ati..
hai kuch aisi hi bat jo chup hun
warna kia bat kar nahi ati
kion na cheekhon ke yaad karte hain
meri awaz gar nahi ati
daagh e dil gar nazar nahi ati
bus bhi aye charah gar nahi ati
hum wahan hai jahan se ham koi bhi
kuch hamari khabar nhi ati,
marte hain arzoo mein marne ki
mout ati hai par nahi ati....
kabah kis munh se jao ge 'Ghalib'
sharam tum ko magar nhi ati....
