har baat jo na hona thi aisi hui ki bas
har baat jo na honā thī aisī huī ki bas
kuchh aur chāhiye tujhe ai zindagī ki bas
jo din nahīñ guzarnā the vo bhī guzar ga.e
duniyā hai ham haiñ aur hai vo bebasī ki bas
jin par nisār naqd-e-sukūñ naqd-e-jāñ kiyā
un se mile to aisī nadāmat huī ki bas
maiñ jis ko dekhtā thā uchaTtī nigāh se
un kī nigāh mujh pe kuchh aisī paḌī ki bas
manzil samajh ke daar pe maiñ to na ruk sakā
ḳhud mujh se merī zindagī kahtī rahī ki bas
vo mas.ale hayāt ke jo mas.ale nahīñ
un mas.aloñ se uljhā hai yuuñ aadmī ki bas
pahuñchā jahāñ bhī log ye kahte hue mile
tahzīb apne shahr kī aisī miTī ki bas
duniyā ġharīb jaan ke hañstī thī 'mīr' par
'iqbāl' mujh pe aise ye duniyā hañsī ki bas
har baat jo na hona thi aisi hui ki bas
kuchh aur chahiye tujhe ai zindagi ki bas
jo din nahin guzarna the wo bhi guzar gae
duniya hai hum hain aur hai wo bebasi ki bas
jin par nisar naqd-e-sukun naqd-e-jaan kiya
un se mile to aisi nadamat hui ki bas
main jis ko dekhta tha uchaTti nigah se
un ki nigah mujh pe kuchh aisi paDi ki bas
manzil samajh ke dar pe main to na ruk saka
KHud mujh se meri zindagi kahti rahi ki bas
wo masale hayat ke jo masale nahin
un masalon se uljha hai yun aadmi ki bas
pahuncha jahan bhi log ye kahte hue mile
tahzib apne shahr ki aisi miTi ki bas
duniya gharib jaan ke hansti thi 'mir' par
'iqbaal' mujh pe aise ye duniya hansi ki bas
