kab se nazar lagi thi darwaza-e-haram se

kab se nazar lagī thī darvāza-e-haram se

parda uThā to laḌiyāñ āñkheñ hamārī ham se

sūrat-gar-e-ajal kā kyā haath thā kahe to

khīñchī vo teġh-e-abrū faulād ke qalam se

sozish ga.ī na dil kī rone se roz-o-shab ke

jaltā huuñ aur dariyā bahte haiñ chashm-e-nam se

taa.at kā vaqt guzrā mastī meñ aab raz kī

ab chashm-dāsht us ke yaañ hai faqat karam se

kuḌhiye na roiye to auqāt kyūñke guzre

rahtā hai mashġhala sā bār-e-ġham-o-alam se

mash.hūr hai samājat merī ki teġh barsī

par maiñ na sar uThāyā hargiz tire qadam se

baat ehtiyāt se kar zaa.e.a na kar nafas ko

bālīdgī-e-dil hai mānind-e-shīsha dam se

kyā kyā ta.ab uThā.e kyā kyā azaab dekhe

tab dil huā hai utnā ḳhūgar tire sitam se

hastī meñ ham ne aa kar āsūdgī na dekhī

khultīñ na kaash āñkheñ ḳhvāb ḳhush adam se

pāmāl kar ke ham ko pachhtāoge bahut tum

kamyāb haiñ jahāñ meñ sar dene vaale ham se

dil do ho 'mīr' sāhab us bad-ma.āsh ko tum

ḳhātir to jam.a kar lo Tak qaul se qasam se

kab se nazar lagi thi darwaza-e-haram se

parda uTha to laDiyan aankhen hamari hum se

surat-gar-e-ajal ka kya hath tha kahe to

khinchi wo tegh-e-abru faulad ke qalam se

sozish gai na dil ki rone se roz-o-shab ke

jalta hun aur dariya bahte hain chashm-e-nam se

taat ka waqt guzra masti mein aab raz ki

ab chashm-dasht us ke yan hai faqat karam se

kuDhiye na roiye to auqat kyunke guzre

rahta hai mashghala sa bar-e-gham-o-alam se

mashhur hai samajat meri ki tegh barsi

par main na sar uThaya hargiz tere qadam se

baat ehtiyat se kar zaea na kar nafas ko

baalidgi-e-dil hai manind-e-shisha dam se

kya kya tab uThae kya kya azab dekhe

tab dil hua hai utna KHugar tere sitam se

hasti mein hum ne aa kar aasudgi na dekhi

khultin na kash aankhen KHwab KHush adam se

pamal kar ke hum ko pachhtaoge bahut tum

kamyab hain jahan mein sar dene wale hum se

dil do ho 'mir' sahab us bad-maash ko tum

KHatir to jama kar lo Tak qaul se qasam se
