kal ek naakid-e-'gaalib' ne mujh se ye poochhaa
ki kdr-e-'gaalib'-e-marahoom kaa sabab kyaa hai
mujhe bataao ki diivaan-e-hajrat-e-'gaalib'
kalaam-e-paak hai injiil hai ki giitaa hai
sunaa hai shahar-e-karaachii men ek saahab hain
kalaam un kaa bhii 'gaalib' se milataa-julataa hai
hamaaraa dost tufailii bhii hai baDaa shaaer
agarache ek baDe aadamii kaa chamachaa hai
to fir ye gaalib-e-marahoom kii hii barasii kyoon
mujhe bataao ki un men khusoosiyat kyaa hai
n 'jauk' kaa hai kahiin tajkiraa n 'momin' kaa
n jikr-e-'miir' kahiin hai n yaum-e-'saudaa' hai
ye 'faij' o 'maahir' o 'josh' o 'firaak' kuchh bhii kahen
mirii najr men to 'gaalib' se jauk oonchaa hai
mujhe to 'miir-takii-miir' se hai ek lagaav
ki 'miir' kuchh bhii sahii shaaerii to karataa hai
ye rang laaii hai 'gaalib' kii paarTii-bandii
ki aaj saare jahaan men usii kaa charchaa hai
ye roos vaale jo 'gaalib' pe jaan dete hain
mire khyaal men is men bhii koii ghapalaa hai
kahaan ke aise baDe aarTisT the 'gaalib'
ye chand ahal-e-adab kaa propegaNDaa hai
anaa ne maar diyaa varnaa shaaer achchhaa thaa
natiijaa ye ki jo honaa thaa us kaa aadhaa hai
likhii hai ek gjl kii radiif hone tak
koii bataae ki kyaa ye bhii sahav-e-imlaa hai
kabhii hai mahav hasiinon se dhaul-dhappaa men
kabhii kisii kaa vo sote men bosaa letaa hai
jo kah rahe hain ki 'gaalib' hai flasafii shaaer
mujhe bataaen ki bose men flsafaa kyaa hai
jahaan rakm kii tavakko' huii ksiidaa kahaa
tumhiin kaho ki ye meaar-e-shaayarii kyaa hai
sharaab jaam men hai aur jaam haathon men
magar ye rind-e-balaa-nosh fir bhii pyaasaa hai
jo shaaerii ho tajammul-husain-khaan ke lie
vo ik tarah kii khushaamad hai shaaerii kyaa hai
khitaab o khilaa't o darabaar ke lie us ne
n jaane kitane amiiron pe jaal Daalaa hai
sunaa ye hai ki vo soofii bhii thaa valii bhii thaa
ab is ke baa'd to paigmbarii kaa darjaa hai
kahaa jo main ne ki paDhie to pahale 'gaalib' ko
to bole khaak paDhoon muddaa' to ankaa hai
mujhe khbar hai ki 'gaalib' kii jindagii kyaa thii
ki main ne hajrat-e-gaalib kaa film dekhaa hai
sunii jo main ne ye tankiid to samajh n sakaa
ki is griib ko 'gaalib' se dushmanii kyaa hai
samajh gayaa ki ye bakavaas be-sabab to nahiin
dimaag kaa koii purjaa jroor Dhiilaa hai
baDhii jo baat to fir main ne us ko samajhaayaa
adab men hajrat-e-gaalib kaa martabaa kyaa hai
bataayaa us ko ki vo jindagii kaa hai shaaer
bahut kriib se duniyaa ko us ne dekhaa hai
ajab tajaad kii haamil hai us kii shakhsiyyat
ajiib shakhs hai barbaad ho ke hansataa hai
charaag-e-subh kii maanind jindagii us kii
ik aasaraa hai ik aramaan hai ik tamannaa hai
jo us ko rokanaa chaaho to aur tej bahe
ajiib mauj-e-ravaan hai ajiib dariyaa hai
chipak rahaa hai badan par lahoo se pairaahan
rafoo kii us ko jroorat hai aur n parvaa hai
vo likh rahaa hai hikaayaat-e-khoon-chakaan-e-junoon
jabhii to us ke klam se lahoo Tapakataa hai
bas ek lafj ke parde men daastaan kahanaa
ye fikr-o-fn kii bulandii usii kaa hissaa hai
n kyoon hon aaj vo mashahoor poorii duniyaa men
ki us kii fikr kaa maujooa poorii duniyaa hai
pahunch gayaa hai vo us manjil-e-tafkkur par
jahaan dimaag bhii dil kii tarah dhaDkataa hai
kabhii to us kaa koii sher-e-saadaa-o-rangiin
rukh-e-bashar kii tarah kaifiyat badalataa hai
ye ham ne maanaa ki kuchh khaamiyaan bhii thiin us men
vo khaamiyaan nahiin rakhataa ye kis kaa daavaa hai
vo aadamii thaa khtaa aadamii kii hai fitarat
ye kyoon kahen ki vo insaan nahiin frishtaa hai
jo chaahate hain ki fauk-ul-bashar banaa den use
hamen to us ke un ahabaab se bhii shikavaa hai
hajaar logon ne chaahaa ki us ke saath chalen
magar vo pahale bhii tanhaa thaa ab bhii tanhaa hai
kabhii valii kabhii vaaij kabhii khraabaatii
samajh sako to samajh lo vo ik moammaa hai
agar ye sach hai ki alfaaj rooh rakhate hain
to ye bhii sach hai vo alfaaj kaa masiihaa hai
