sar-e-rah chand intizari rahe

sar-e-rāh chand intizārī rahe

bhalā kab talak be-qarārī rahe

rahā hī kiye aañsū palkoñ pe shab

kahāñ tak sitāra-shumārī rahe

kahā bosa de kar safar jab chalā

ki merī bhī ye yādgārī rahe

kahīñ ḳhushk ho chashma-e-chashm bhī

lahū muñh pe tā-chand jaarī rahe

bas ab rah chukī jān-e-ġhamnāk bhī

jo aisī hī tan kī nizārī rahe

tasallī na ho dil agar yaar se

hameñ sālhā ham-kinārī rahe

tire haiñ duā-go sunā ḳhuub hī

faqīroñ kī gar gosh-dārī rahe

shab-e-vasl thī yā shab-e-teġh thī

ki laḌte hī ve raat saarī rahe

kareñ ḳhvāb hamsā.e kyūñkar ki yaañ

balā shor-o-fariyād-o-zārī rahe

phirā karte haiñ ḳhvār galiyoñ meñ ham

kahāñ tak ye be-e'tibārī rahe

kaj-abrū in atfāl meñ hai ajab

jo 'mīr' aabrū bhī tumhārī rahe

sar-e-rah chand intizari rahe

bhala kab talak be-qarari rahe

raha hi kiye aansu palkon pe shab

kahan tak sitara-shumari rahe

kaha bosa de kar safar jab chala

ki meri bhi ye yaadgari rahe

kahin KHushk ho chashma-e-chashm bhi

lahu munh pe ta-chand jari rahe

bas ab rah chuki jaan-e-ghamnak bhi

jo aisi hi tan ki nizari rahe

tasalli na ho dil agar yar se

hamein salha ham-kinari rahe

tere hain dua-go suna KHub hi

faqiron ki gar gosh-dari rahe

shab-e-wasl thi ya shab-e-tegh thi

ki laDte hi we raat sari rahe

karen KHwab hamsae kyunkar ki yan

bala shor-o-fariyaad-o-zari rahe

phira karte hain KHwar galiyon mein hum

kahan tak ye be-e'tibari rahe

kaj-abru in atfal mein hai ajab

jo 'mir' aabru bhi tumhaari rahe
