rahii naguftaa mere dil meN daastaaN merii
na is dayaar meN samajhaa ko_ii zabaaN merii
barang-e-saut-e-jaras tujh se door hooN tanahaa
Khabar nahiiN hai tujhe aah kaarawaaN merii
usii se door rahaa asl-e-muddaa jo thaa
ga_ii ye umr-e-azeez aah raayagaaN merii
tere firaaq meN jaise Khayaal muflis kaa
ga_ii hai fikr-e-pareshaaN kahaaN kahaaN merii
diyaa dikhaaa_ii mujhe to usii kaa jalwaa "Meer"
paRii jahaaN meN jaa kar nazar jahaaN merii
