gham ke baadal agar chhaTe hue the

ġham ke bādal agar chhaTe hue the

baal miTTī meñ kyoñ aTe hue the

shā'irī dost ranj ghar daftar

kitne hissoñ meñ ham baTe hue the

maiñ 'alam-dār thā 'alam thāmā

chāhe baazū mire kaTe hue the

saarā manzar hamārā manzar thā

aur manzar se ham haTe hue the

'mīr' sāhib kā thā shaġhaf us ko

she'r ham ne bhī sab raTe hue the

jān-levā usuul the yāram

jin pe ham be-sabab DaTe hue the

jo qadāmat-parast the 'ārif'

apne kirdār meñ ghaTe hue the

gham ke baadal agar chhaTe hue the

baal miTTi mein kyon aTe hue the

sha'iri dost ranj ghar daftar

kitne hisson mein hum baTe hue the

main 'alam-dar tha 'alam thama

chahe bazu mere kaTe hue the

sara manzar hamara manzar tha

aur manzar se hum haTe hue the

'mir' sahib ka tha shaghaf us ko

she'r hum ne bhi sab raTe hue the

jaan-lewa usul the yaram

jin pe hum be-sabab DaTe hue the

jo qadamat-parast the 'arif'

apne kirdar mein ghaTe hue the
