ab kuchh maze par aaya shayad wo shoKH-dida

ab kuchh maze par aaya shāyad vo shoḳh-dīda

aab us ke post meñ hai juuñ meva-e-rasīda

āñkheñ milā kabhū to kab tak kiyā karūñ maiñ

dumbāla-gardī terī ai āhū-e-ramīda

paanī bhar aaya muñh meñ dekhe jinhoñ ke yā-rab

ve kis maze ke hoñge lab-hā-e-nā-makīda

saa.e ko us parī ke lagtā na thā chaman meñ

maġhrūr kaahe par hai shamshād-e-qad-kashīda

āñkheñ hī bichh rahī haiñ ahl-e-nazar kī yaksar

chalte hue zamīñ par rakh paañv diida diida

chal sair karne tū bhī tā sub.h āñkheñ kholeñ

muñh par tire chaman meñ gul-hā-e-nau-damīda

mehrāb meñ raho na sajda kiyā karo na

be-vaqt kyā hai taa.at qad ab huā ḳhamīda

parvāna gird phir kar jal bhī bujhā va-lekin

ḳhāmosh raat ko thī sham.a-e-zabāñ-burīda

dekhā mujhe shab-e-gul bulbul ne jo chaman meñ

bolā kī mere muñh par kyā kyā dahan-darīda

qalb-o-kabid to donoñ tīroñ se chhan rahe haiñ

vo is sitam-kashī par ham se rahe kabīda

ash.ār-e-'mīr' sab ne chun chun ke likh liye haiñ

rakkheñge yaad ham bhī kuchh baiteñ chīda chīda

ab kuchh maze par aaya shayad wo shoKH-dida

aab us ke post mein hai jun mewa-e-rasida

aankhen mila kabhu to kab tak kiya karun main

dumbaala-gardi teri ai aahu-e-ramida

pani bhar aaya munh mein dekhe jinhon ke ya-rab

we kis maze ke honge lab-ha-e-na-makida

sae ko us pari ke lagta na tha chaman mein

maghrur kahe par hai shamshad-e-qad-kashida

aankhen hi bichh rahi hain ahl-e-nazar ki yaksar

chalte hue zamin par rakh panw dida dida

chal sair karne tu bhi ta subh aankhen kholen

munh par tere chaman mein gul-ha-e-nau-damida

mehrab mein raho na sajda kiya karo na

be-waqt kya hai taat qad ab hua KHamida

parwana gird phir kar jal bhi bujha wa-lekin

KHamosh raat ko thi shama-e-zaban-burida

dekha mujhe shab-e-gul bulbul ne jo chaman mein

bola ki mere munh par kya kya dahan-darida

qalb-o-kabid to donon tiron se chhan rahe hain

wo is sitam-kashi par hum se rahe kabida

ashaar-e-'mir' sab ne chun chun ke likh liye hain

rakkhenge yaad hum bhi kuchh baiten chida chida
