dida-e-ashk-bar hai apna
aur dil be-qarar hai apna

rashk-e-sahra hai ghar ki virani
yahi rang-e-bahaar hai apna

chashm-e-giryan se chaak-e-daman se
haal sab aashkar hai apna

hae-hu mein har ek khoya hai
kaun yan gham-gusar hai apna

sirf wo ek sab ke hain mukhtar
un pe kya ikhtiyar hai apna

bazm se un ki jab se nikla hai
dil gharib-ud-dayar hai apna

un ko apna bana ke chhodenge
bakht agar sazgar hai apna

pas to kya hai apne phir bhi magar
us pe sab kuchh nisar hai apna

hum ko hasti raqib ki manzur
phul ke sath khar hai apna

hai yahi rasm-e-mai-kada shayad
nashsha un ka khumar hai apna

jit ke khwab dekhte jao
ye dil-e-bad-qimar hai apna

kya ghalat sochte hain 'mira-ji'
sher kahna shiar hai apna
