दर्द मिन्नत-कश-ए-दवा न हुआ
मैं न अच्छा हुआ बुरा न हुआ
My pain never submitted to the cure,I neither grew well, nor did I grow worse.
My pain did not respond to any medicine. I neither got better nor got worse.

जम्अ' करते हो क्यूँ रक़ीबों को
इक तमाशा हुआ गिला न हुआ
Why do you assemble all the rivals, pray?It turned to a spectacle, no complaint made today.

हम कहाँ क़िस्मत आज़माने जाएँ
तू ही जब ख़ंजर-आज़मा न हुआ
Where shall I go to test my fate,When you yourself did not wield your blade?

कितने शीरीं हैं तेरे लब कि रक़ीब
गालियाँ खा के बे-मज़ा न हुआ
How sweet your lips, that the rival,Even when showered with curses, found no bitterness.

आज ही घर में बोरिया न हुआ
The news of their coming is abuzz, so fervent and keen,And just today, no mat in my house is to be seen.

क्या वो नमरूद की ख़ुदाई थी
बंदगी में मिरा भला न हुआ
Was that Namrud's divine reign,That my devotion brought no gain?

जान दी दी हुई उसी की थी
हक़ तो यूँ है कि हक़ अदा न हुआ

ज़ख़्म गर दब गया लहू न थमा
काम गर रुक गया रवा न हुआ
If the wound was suppressed, the blood could not be bound, If the task was halted, no progress could be found.

रहज़नी है कि दिल-सितानी है
ले के दिल दिल-सिताँ रवाना हुआ
Is this highway robbery, or a plunder of the heart?The heart-stealer, taking my heart, has now departed.

कुछ तो पढ़िए कि लोग कहते हैं
आज 'ग़ालिब' ग़ज़ल-सरा न हुआ
