ye jo fitrat mein khaksari hai
bais-e-fakhr waza-dari hai

sirf dil par nahin koi qabu
aur jo kuchh hai ikhtiyari hai

kuchh nahin kaenat is ke siwa
ek tamasha hai ek madari hai

apne dil ki shikastagi ke sabab
'mir' sahab se rishtedari hai

us ka anjam khub hai malum
waqt-e-be-mehr se jo pyari hai

kya zamana mita sakega use
ye jo urdu zaban hamari hai
