yak umr dida-ha-e-sitam-dida tar rahe

yak umr dīda-hā-e-sitam-dīda tar rahe

āḳhir ko phuuT phuuT bahe qahr kar rahe

ham ne bhī nazr kī hai phireñge chaman ke gird

aane ta.iiñ bahār ke gar bāl-o-par rahe

kyā kahiye tere vāste ai māya-e-hayāt

kyā kyā aziiz apne ta.iiñ maar mar rahe

marte bhī apne haa.e vo hāzir na ho sakā

ham ishtiyāq-kash to bahut muhtazar rahe

murġhān-e-bāġh rahte haiñ ab ghere yuuñ mujhe

mātam-zadoñ ke halqe meñ juuñ nauhagar rahe

āġhosh us se ḳhālī rahī shab to tā-sahar

jeb-o-kanār girya-e-ḳhūnīñ se bhar rahe

naqsh-e-qadam ke taur tire ham haiñ pā.emāl

ġhālib hai ye ki der hamārā asar rahe

ab sabr-o-hosh-o-aql kī mere ye hai ma.āsh

juuñ qāfila luTā kahīñ aa kar utar rahe

lākhoñ hamāre dekhte ghar-bār se ga.e

kis ḳhānumāñ-ḳharāb ke ve jā ke ghar rahe

aatā kabhū to naaz se dikhlā.ī de bhī jā

darvāze hī kī or kahāñ tak nazar rahe

rakhnā tumhāre paañv kā khotā hai sar se hosh

ye chaal hai to apnī kise phir ḳhabar rahe

kyā bad-balā hai laag bhī dil kī ki 'mīr' jī

dāman-savār laḌkoñ ke ho kar nafar rahe

yak umr dida-ha-e-sitam-dida tar rahe

aaKHir ko phuT phuT bahe qahr kar rahe

hum ne bhi nazr ki hai phirenge chaman ke gird

aane tain bahaar ke gar baal-o-par rahe

kya kahiye tere waste ai maya-e-hayat

kya kya aziz apne tain mar mar rahe

marte bhi apne hae wo hazir na ho saka

hum ishtiyaq-kash to bahut muhtazar rahe

murghan-e-bagh rahte hain ab ghere yun mujhe

matam-zadon ke halqe mein jun nauhagar rahe

aaghosh us se KHali rahi shab to ta-sahar

jeb-o-kanar girya-e-KHunin se bhar rahe

naqsh-e-qadam ke taur tere hum hain paemal

ghaalib hai ye ki der hamara asar rahe

ab sabr-o-hosh-o-aql ki mere ye hai maash

jun qafila luTa kahin aa kar utar rahe

lakhon hamare dekhte ghar-bar se gae

kis KHanuman-KHarab ke we ja ke ghar rahe

aata kabhu to naz se dikhlai de bhi ja

darwaze hi ki or kahan tak nazar rahe

rakhna tumhaare panw ka khota hai sar se hosh

ye chaal hai to apni kise phir KHabar rahe

kya bad-bala hai lag bhi dil ki ki 'mir' ji

daman-sawar laDkon ke ho kar nafar rahe
