adab mein muddai-e-fan to be-shumar mile

adab meñ mudda.ī-e-fan to be-shumār mile

magar na 'mīr' ke 'ġhālib' ke virsa-dār mile

junūn-e-ishq ko dāman to taar taar milā

mazā to jab hai garebāñ bhī taar taar mile

baḌe maze se guzārī hai zindagī maiñ ne

ḳhudā ke fazl se hālāt sāzgār mile

kisī ke dil pe bhalā iḳhtiyār kyā hogā

bahut hai apne hī dil par jo iḳhtiyār mile

ye kyā sitam hai ki aadā to paa.eñ hūr-o-qusūr

jo un ke chāhne vaale haiñ un ko daar mile

mire mizāj ko baḳhshā hai inkisār agar

ba-qadr-e-zarf tabī.at ko inkisār mile

har ik amal pe mukallaf banā ke farmāyā

kahīñ se dekhnā dāman na dāġh-dār mile

mirā mazāq hai ikrām-e-dostāñ 'vasfī'

vo dil hī paas nahīñ jis meñ kuchh ġhubār mile

adab mein muddai-e-fan to be-shumar mile

magar na 'mir' ke 'ghaalib' ke wirsa-dar mile

junun-e-ishq ko daman to tar tar mila

maza to jab hai gareban bhi tar tar mile

baDe maze se guzari hai zindagi main ne

KHuda ke fazl se haalat sazgar mile

kisi ke dil pe bhala iKHtiyar kya hoga

bahut hai apne hi dil par jo iKHtiyar mile

ye kya sitam hai ki aada to paen hur-o-qusur

jo un ke chahne wale hain un ko dar mile

mere mizaj ko baKHsha hai inkisar agar

ba-qadr-e-zarf tabiat ko inkisar mile

har ek amal pe mukallaf bana ke farmaya

kahin se dekhna daman na dagh-dar mile

mera mazaq hai ikram-e-dostan 'wasfi'

wo dil hi pas nahin jis mein kuchh ghubar mile
