Zulmat Kaday Mein Mere Shab-E-Gham Ka Josh Hai,

Zulmat Kaday Mein Mere Shab-E-Gham Ka Josh Hai,

Ik Shamma Hai Daleel-E-Sahar, So Khamosh Hai,

Na Muzda-E-Wisaal Na Nazaara-E-Jamaal,

Muddat Hui Ki Aashti-E-Chashm-O-Gosh Hai,

May Ne Kiya Hai Husn-E-Khudaara Ko Be-Hijaab,

Ay Shauq Yaan Ijazat-E-Taslim-E-Hosh Hai,

Gauhar Ko Ikd-E-Gardan-E-Khubaan Main Dekhna,

Kya Auj Par Sitara-E-Gauhar-Farosh Hai,

Deedar, Wada, Hausla, Saaqi, Nigaah-E-Mast,

Bazm-E-Khayaal Maikada-E-Be Kharosh Hai,

Ay Taaza Waaridan-E-Bisaat-E-Hawa-E-Dil,

Zinhaar Gar Tumhein Hawas-E-Na-O-Nosh Hai,

Dekho Mujhe Jo Deeda-E-Ibarat Nigaah Ho,

Meri Suno Jo Gosh-E-Nasihat Niyosh Hai,

Saaqi Ba Jalwa Dushman-E-Imaan-O-Aagahi,

Mutarib Banagma Rahzan-E-Tamkin-O-Hosh Hai,

Ya Shab Ko Dekhte The Ki Har Gosha-E-Bisaat,

Daaman-E-Baagbaan-O-Kaf-E-Gul-Farosh Hai,

Lutf-E-Khiraam-E-Saaqi-O-Zauq-E-Sada-E-Chang,

Ye Jannat-E-Nigaah Wo Firdaus-E-Gosh Hai,

Ya Subh Dam Jo Dekhiye Aa Kar To Bazm Mein,

Naa Wo Suroor-O-Soz Na Josh-O-Kharosh Hai,

Daag-E-Firaaq-E-Sohbat-E-Shab Ki Jali Hui,

Ik Shamma Rah Gai Hai So Wo Bhi Khamosh Hai,

Aate Hain Gaib Se Ye Mazmin Khayaal Mein,

'Ghalib', Sarir-E-Khaama Nawaa-E-Sarosh Hai ...
