burqa uTha tha ruKH se mere bad-guman ka

burqā uThā thā ruḳh se mire bad-gumān kā

dekhā to aur rañg hai saare jahān kā

mat māniyo ki hogā ye be-dard ahl-e-dīñ

gar aave shaiḳh pahan ke jaama qur.ān kā

ḳhūbī ko us ke chehre kī kyā pahuñche āftāb

hai us meñ is meñ farq zamīn āsmān kā

abla hai vo jo hove ḳharīdār-e-gul-ruḳhāñ

us saude meñ sarīh hai nuqsān jaan kā

kuchh aur gaate haiñ jo raqīb us ke rū-ba-rū

dushman haiñ merī jaan ke ye jī hai taan kā

taskīn us kī tab huī jab chup mujhe lagī

mat pūchh kuchh sulūk mire bad-zabān kā

yaañ bulbul aur gul pe to ibrat se aañkh khol

gul-gasht sarsarī nahīñ us gulistān kā

gul yādgār-e-chehra-e-ḳhūbāñ hai be-ḳhabar

murġh-e-chaman nishāñ hai kasū ḳhush-zabān kā

tū barsoñ meñ kahe hai milūñgā maiñ 'mīr' se

yaañ kuchh kā kuchh hai haal abhī is javān kā

burqa uTha tha ruKH se mere bad-guman ka

dekha to aur rang hai sare jahan ka

mat maniyo ki hoga ye be-dard ahl-e-din

gar aawe shaiKH pahan ke jama quran ka

KHubi ko us ke chehre ki kya pahunche aaftab

hai us mein is mein farq zamin aasman ka

abla hai wo jo howe KHaridar-e-gul-ruKHan

us saude mein sarih hai nuqsan jaan ka

kuchh aur gate hain jo raqib us ke ru-ba-ru

dushman hain meri jaan ke ye ji hai tan ka

taskin us ki tab hui jab chup mujhe lagi

mat puchh kuchh suluk mere bad-zaban ka

yan bulbul aur gul pe to ibrat se aankh khol

gul-gasht sarsari nahin us gulistan ka

gul yaadgar-e-chehra-e-KHuban hai be-KHabar

murgh-e-chaman nishan hai kasu KHush-zaban ka

tu barson mein kahe hai milunga main 'mir' se

yan kuchh ka kuchh hai haal abhi is jawan ka
