yaad hai shādī meñ bhī hañgāma-e-yā-rab mujhe
sub.ha-e-zāhid huā hai ḳhanda zer-e-lab mujhe
hai kushād-e-ḳhātir-e-vā-basta dar rahn-e-suḳhan
thā tilism-e-qufl-e-abjad ḳhāna-e-maktab mujhe
yā rab is āshuftagī kī daad kis se chāhiye
rashk āsā.ish pe hai zindāniyoñ kī ab mujhe
tab.a hai mushtāq-e-lazzat-hā-e-hasrat kyā karūñ
aarzū se hai shikast-e-ārzū matlab mujhe
dil lagā kar aap bhī 'ġhālib' mujhī se ho ga.e
ishq se aate the maane mīrzā sāhab mujhe
