apnā sach us ko sunāne ke liye

ham ko qissoñ kā havāla chāhiye

apna sach us ko sunane ke liye

hum ko qisson ka hawala chahiye

tah-ba-tah khultī hī rahtī hai sadā

'mīr' ke dīvān sī hai zindagī

tah-ba-tah khulti hi rahti hai sada

'mir' ke diwan si hai zindagi

vaqt badlā soch badlī baat badlī

ham se bachche kah rahe haiñ ham na.e haiñ

waqt badla soch badli baat badli

hum se bachche kah rahe hain hum nae hain

nayā chaar din meñ purānā huā

yahī sab huā to nayā kyā huā

naya chaar din mein purana hua

yahi sab hua to naya kya hua

ḳhālī dīvār burī lagtī hai

merī tasvīr hī rahne dete

KHali diwar buri lagti hai

meri taswir hi rahne dete
