Bay khudi besabab nahi Ghalib

Kuch to hai jiski parda dari hai

Main kitnay tookron main tooti, koi jane na

Main kitna raaton mein roti, koi jane na

Mera hath thaam ke, ehsaan tunay kiya

Gumnam si thi main, naam tunay dia

Nadaniyaan main jo hum say hua, Maaf kari maula

Tanhaiyoon main rota raha, Maaf kari maula

Ye kaisa jurm hua, Kay tera hi mujrim hua

Mera dard koi kun baante

Mere Aanchal mein liptay hue kaante

Mujhe naam koi kyu deta

Meri qismat main bus hai ghum chaate

Jane anjanain main bhool hui

Jane baddua kisi ki qabool hui

Jane kyun tujhko paake bhi kho diya

Mujhe pachtawa hai aisa kay ro diye

Mera haal janta hai khuda, Kya bataun tujhe

Meri daanstan adhoori rahi, Kya sunaoon tujhe

Nadaniyaan main jo hum say hua, Maaf kari maula

Tanhaiyoon main rota raha, Maaf kari maula

Ye kaisa jurm hua, Kay tera hi mujrim hua
