Har Ek Ghar Mein diya Bhi Jale Anaj Bhi Ho

har ek ghar men diya bhi jale anaaj bhi ho
agar na ho kahin aisa to ehtijaj bhi ho

rahegi wadon men kab tak asiir khush-hali
har ek baar hi kal kyuun kabhi to aaj bhi ho

na karte shor-sharaba to aur kya karte
tumhare shahr men kuchh aur kam-kaj bhi ho

hukumaton ko badalna to kuchh muhal nahin
hukumaten jo badalta hai vo samaj bhi ho

badal rahe hain kai aadmi darindon men
maraz purana hai is ka naya ilaaj bhi ho

akele gham se nai shairi nahin hoti
zaban-e-‘mir’ men ‘ghalib’ ka imtizaj bhi ho
