sab haal se be-KHabar hain yan to

sab haal se be-ḳhabar haiñ yaañ to

barham-zada shahr hai jahāñ to

is tan pe nisār karte lekin

apnī bhī nazar meñ Thahre jaañ to

barbād na de kahīñ sarāsar

rahtī nahīñ sham.a-sāñ zabāñ to

kyā us ke ga.e hai zikr dil kā

vīrān paḌā hai ye makāñ to

kyā kyā na aziiz ḳhvār hoñge

hone do use abhī javāñ to

ġhuncha lage muñh tumhāre lekin

sohbat kā use bhī ho dahāñ to

kyā us se rakheñ umīd-e-bahbūd

phirtā hai ḳharāb āsmāñ to

ye tāle-e-nā-rasā bhī jāgeñ

so jaa.e Tuk us kā pāsbāñ to

mat turbat-e-'mīr' ko miTāo

rahne do ġharīb kā nishāñ to

sab haal se be-KHabar hain yan to

barham-zada shahr hai jahan to

is tan pe nisar karte lekin

apni bhi nazar mein Thahre jaan to

barbaad na de kahin sarasar

rahti nahin shama-san zaban to

kya us ke gae hai zikr dil ka

viran paDa hai ye makan to

kya kya na aziz KHwar honge

hone do use abhi jawan to

ghuncha lage munh tumhaare lekin

sohbat ka use bhi ho dahan to

kya us se rakhen umid-e-bahbud

phirta hai KHarab aasman to

ye tale-e-na-rasa bhi jagen

so jae Tuk us ka pasban to

mat turbat-e-'mir' ko miTao

rahne do gharib ka nishan to
