Manind-e-shama-majlis Shab Ashk-bar Paya

manind-e-shama-majlis shab ashk-bar paya

al-qissa 'mir' ko hum be-iKHtiyar paya

ahwal KHush unhon ka ham-bazm hain jo tere

afsos hai ki hum ne wan ka na bar paya

jite jo zof ho kar zaKHm-e-rasa se us ke

sine ko chaak dekha dil ko figar paya

shahr-e-dil ek muddat ujDa basa ghamon mein

aaKHir ujaD dena us ka qarar paya

itna na tujh se milte ne dil ko kho ke rote

jaisa kiya tha hum ne waisa hi yar paya

kya e'tibar yan ka phir us ko KHwar dekha

jis ne jahan mein aa kar kuchh e'tibar paya

aahon ke shole jis ja uThte the 'mir' se shab

wan ja ke subh dekha musht-e-ghubar paya
