mir ho mirza ho mera ji ho
na-rasa hath ki nam-naki hai

ek hi chikh hai furqat ke bayabanon mein
ek hi tul-e-alam-naki hai

ek hi ruh jo behaal hai zindanon mein
ek hi qaid tamanna ki hai

ahd-e-rafta ke bahut khwab tamanna mein hain
aur kuchh wahme aainda ke

phir bhi andesha wo aaina hai jis mein goya
mir ho mirza ho mera ji ho

kuchh nahin dekhte hain
mahwar-e-ishq ki khud-mast haqiqat ke siwa

apne hi bim o raja apni hi surat ke siwa
apne rang apne badan apne hi qamat ke siwa

apni tanhai-e-jaan-kah ki dahshat ke siwa!
dil-kharashi o jigar-chaaki o khun-afshani

hun to nakaam pe hote hain mujhe kaam bahut
muddaa mahw-e-tamasha-e-shikast-e-dil hai

aaina-khane mein koi liye jata hai mujhe
raat ke phaile andhere mein koi saya na tha

chand ke aane pe sae aae
sae hilte hue ghulte hue kuchh bhut se ban jate hain

mir ho mirza ho mera ji ho
apni hi zat ki ghirbaal mein chhan jate hain

dil-kharashida ho khun-dada rahe
aaina-khane ke rezon pe hum istada rahe

chand ke aane pe sae bahut aae bhi
hum bahut sayon se ghabrae bhi

mir ho mirza ho mera ji ho
aaj jaan ek nae hangame mein dar aai hai

mah-e-be-saya ki darai hai
yaad wo ishrat-e-khun-nab kise

fursat-e-khwab kise
