hasti apni habab ki si hai

hastī apnī habāb kī sī hai

ye numā.ish sarāb kī sī hai

nāzukī us ke lab kī kyā kahiye

pañkhuḌī ik gulāb kī sī hai

chashm-e-dil khol is bhī aalam par

yaañ kī auqāt ḳhvāb kī sī hai

baar baar us ke dar pe jaatā huuñ

hālat ab iztirāb kī sī hai

nuqta-e-ḳhāl se tirā abrū

bait ik intiḳhāb kī sī hai

maiñ jo bolā kahā ki ye āvāz

usī ḳhāna-ḳharāb kī sī hai

ātish-e-ġham meñ dil bhunā shāyad

der se bū kabāb kī sī hai

dekhiye abr kī tarah ab ke

merī chashm-e-pur-āb kī sī hai

'mīr' un nīm-bāz āñkhoñ meñ

saarī mastī sharāb kī sī hai

hasti apni habab ki si hai

ye numaish sarab ki si hai

nazuki us ke lab ki kya kahiye

pankhuDi ek gulab ki si hai

chashm-e-dil khol is bhi aalam par

yan ki auqat KHwab ki si hai

bar bar us ke dar pe jata hun

haalat ab iztirab ki si hai

nuqta-e-KHal se tera abru

bait ek intiKHab ki si hai

main jo bola kaha ki ye aawaz

usi KHana-KHarab ki si hai

aatish-e-gham mein dil bhuna shayad

der se bu kabab ki si hai

dekhiye abr ki tarah ab ke

meri chashm-e-pur-ab ki si hai

'mir' un nim-baz aankhon mein

sari masti sharab ki si hai
