Laeq-e-dastar AaKHir Koi Sar Hona Hi Tha

laeq-e-dastar aaKHir koi sar hona hi tha

ek na ek din to ye qissa muKHtasar hona hi tha

dekh kar ashk-e-nadamat aa gaya rahmat ko josh

ab to meri har KHata ko dar-guzar hona hi tha

chashm pur-nam thi na mere honTon par shikwa-gila

mere gham se har kisi ko be-KHabar hona hi tha

inqilab-e-waqt ka parcham tha mere hath mein

zinat-e-dar-o-rasan to mera sar hona hi tha

dastan meri zaban se sun rahe the apni log

mera har hamla yaqinan kargar hona hi tha

apni be-nuri pe nargis kab talak roti bhala

ik-na-ik din to chaman mein dida war hona hi tha

sohbat-e-ahl-e-hunar mein umr guzri hai tamam

fikr-e-'mahir' ko kabhi to mo'atabar hona hi tha
