laila ka agar mujhko kirdar mila hota
lailā kā agar mujh ko kirdār milā hotā
majnūñ sā kahānī ko ādhār milā hotā
sahrā meñ nikal jaatā dariyā bhī sarāboñ se
gar kalpanā ko merī ākār milā hotā
pal bhar kī mohabbat meñ jaañ tak bhī maiñ de detī
afsos nahīñ hotā gar pyaar milā hotā
hotī na mahā-bhārat yā koī baġhāvat phir
haqdār ko jo us kā adhikār milā hotā
ayyāsh amīroñ ke laḌke na bigaḌte gar
aurat ko na phir koī bāzār milā hotā
bhūke na bhaTakte phir din raat parinde ye
jo in ko shajar koī phaldār milā hotā
maiñ nūr-jahāñ hotī us daur kī ai 'sīmā'
gar mujh ko jahāñgīrī darbār milā hotā
laila ka agar mujh ko kirdar mila hota
majnun sa kahani ko aadhaar mila hota
sahra mein nikal jata dariya bhi sarabon se
gar kalpana ko meri aakar mila hota
pal bhar ki mohabbat mein jaan tak bhi main de deti
afsos nahin hota gar pyar mila hota
hoti na maha-bhaarat ya koi baghawat phir
haqdar ko jo us ka adhikar mila hota
ayyash amiron ke laDke na bigaDte gar
aurat ko na phir koi bazar mila hota
bhuke na bhaTakte phir din raat parinde ye
jo in ko shajar koi phaldar mila hota
main nur-jahan hoti us daur ki ai 'sima'
gar mujh ko jahangiri darbar mila hota
