misal-e-saya mohabbat mein jal apna hun

misāl-e-sāya mohabbat meñ jaal apnā huuñ

tumhāre saath giraftār-e-hāl apnā huuñ

sarishk-e-surḳh ko jaatā huuñ jo piye har-dam

lahū kā pyāsā alal-ittisāl apnā huuñ

agarche nashsha huuñ sab meñ ḳhum-e-jahāñ meñ lek

ba-rañg-e-mai araq-e-infi.āl apnā huuñ

mirī numūd ne mujh ko kiyā barābar ḳhaak

maiñ naqsh-e-pā kī tarah pā.emāl apnā huuñ

huī hai zindagī dushvār mushkil āsāñ kar

phirūñ chalūñ to huuñ par maiñ vabāl apnā huuñ

tirā hai vahm ki ye nā-tavāñ hai jaame meñ

vagarna maiñ nahīñ ab ik ḳhayāl apnā huuñ

balā huī hai mirī go kā tab-e-raushan 'mīr'

huuñ āftāb va-lekin zavāl apnā huuñ

misal-e-saya mohabbat mein jal apna hun

tumhaare sath giraftar-e-haal apna hun

sarishk-e-surKH ko jata hun jo piye har-dam

lahu ka pyasa alal-ittisal apna hun

agarche nashsha hun sab mein KHum-e-jahan mein lek

ba-rang-e-mai araq-e-infial apna hun

meri numud ne mujh ko kiya barabar KHak

main naqsh-e-pa ki tarah paemal apna hun

hui hai zindagi dushwar mushkil aasan kar

phirun chalun to hun par main wabaal apna hun

tera hai wahm ki ye na-tawan hai jame mein

wagarna main nahin ab ek KHayal apna hun

bala hui hai meri go ka tab-e-raushan 'mir'

hun aaftab wa-lekin zawal apna hun
