londan men jashn-e-hajrat-e-'gaalib' kii raat thii
taariikh-e-shaaerii men ye ik vaaradaat thii
is jashn men shariik the har mulk ke vafood
hal ho gayaa thaa masaalaa-e-vahadat-ul-vajood
jannat se miirajaa ko jo kankaarD le chalaa
pur ho gayaa safr se jo thaa raah men khlaa
mirjaa ke paas bŏks men tambaakoo thii fkt
kasTam ke afsaron ne use samajhaa hii glat
afsar ne paasaporT jo un se talab kiyaa
kahane lage ki aap ne ye kyaa gjb kiyaa
sach baat to yahii hai vo ab nek ho ki bad
mulkon kii sarahadon ko nahiin maanate 'asad'
taariikh kii hai fikr n jugraafie kii hai
shaaer hoon main talaash mujhe kaafie kii hai
aam aadamii kii tarah miraa paasaporT kyoon
main andaliib-e-gulashan-e-naa-aafriidaa hoon
main kab yahaan makaan banaane ko aayaa hoon
landan men apanaa jashn manaane ko aayaa hoon
angrej ke ksiide jo likkhe the yaad hain
najmen kuchh aur bhii hain jo muhataaj-e-daad hain
mujh ko numood-o-naam kii parvaa nahiin magar
bulavaayaa biibiisii ne to pahunchoongaa vakt par
'gaalib' jo resToraan men pahunche b-vakt-e-shaam
baire se ye kahaa ki karo meraa intijaam
mangavaao vo jo aatish-e-sayyaal paas hai
is balagmii mijaaj ko garmii hii raas hai
sTej par jo ho gae ab jalvaa-gar asad
ustaad 'jauk' jalane lage aj-rah-e-hasad
naajim mushaaere kaa ye bolaa ki haajiriin
'gaalib' ko dekhane ko n aaen tamaash-biin
'gaalib' kii shakhsiyyat men mahaasin hain be-shumaar
ye aadamii valii thaa n hotaa jo baadaa-khvaar
ye shakhs jis ko vakt ne booDhaa banaayaa hai
ham ne ise baraat kaa doolhaa banaayaa hai
biivii se baat kiije n saalii se poochhie
'gaalib' kaa kyaa makaam hai haalii se poochhie
sehhat se kam nahiin hai use baharaa-pan kaa rog
baharaa jo is ko kahate hain be-baharaa hain vo log
be-teg kyoon laDegaa ye shaaer jo hai jarii
sau pusht se hai peshaa-e-aabaa sipah-garii
ye chaahataa hai ghar men tirii jalvaa-gaah ho
dekho ise jo diidaa-e-ibarat nigaah ho
tahajiib o fn ko rang-e-mugl is ne de diyaa
urdoo ko ek taaj mahal is ne de diyaa
is ne jbaan-e-'miir' ko hindii kaa ras diyaa
urdoo gjl ko is ne nayaa kainavas diyaa
'gaalib' jo apane jashn men baiThe hain shaan se
in kaa kalaam sunie ab in kii jbaan se
'gaalib' ne tiis gjlen sunaaiin jo subh tak
har sher noT karataa rahaa munshii-e-flak
takriib jab ye khtm huii subh ke kriib
sTej ko jo dekhaa to gaaeb the sab adiib
jalsaa men muhatamim kaa bhii koii pataa n thaa
dariyaan thiin gaao takie the aur shaamiyaanaa thaa
kyaa poochhate ho haal jo 'gaalib' kaa aaj thaa
pŏkeT men ek paisaa n thaa sar pe taaj thaa
