Dhab dekhe to humne jaana dil mein dhun bhi samai hai

Dhab dekhe to ham ne jaanā dil meñ dhun bhī samā.ī hai

'mīrā-jī' daanā to nahīñ hai āshiq hai saudā.ī hai

sub.h-savere kaun sī sūrat phulvārī meñ aa.ī hai

Daalī Daalī jhuum uThī hai kalī kalī lahrā.ī hai

jānī-pahchānī sūrat ko ab to āñkheñ tarseñgī

na.e shahr meñ jīvan-devī nayā ruup bhar laa.ī hai

ek khilaunā TuuT gayā to aur ka.ī mil jā.eñge

bālak ye anhonī tujh ko kis bairī ne sujhā.ī hai

dhyān kī dhun hai amar giit pahchān liyā to bolegā

jis ne raah se bhaTkāyā thā vahī raah par laa.ī hai

baiThe haiñ phulvārī meñ dekheñ kab kaliyāñ khiltī haiñ

bhañvar bhaav to nahīñ hai kis ne itnī raah dikhā.ī hai

jab dil ghabrā jaatā hai to aap hī aap bahaltā hai

prem kī riit ise jaano par honī kī chaturā.ī hai

ummīdeñ armān sabhī jul de jā.eñge jānte the

jaan jaan ke dhoke khaa.e jaan ke baat baḌhā.ī hai

apnā rang bhalā lagtā hai kaliyāñ chaTkīñ phuul banīñ

phuul phuul ye jhuum ke bolā kaliyo tum ko badhā.ī hai

ābshār ke rañg to dekhe lagan manDal kyuuñ yaad nahīñ

kis kā byaah rachā hai dekho Dholak hai shahnā.ī hai

aise Dole man kā bajrā jaise nain-bīch ho kajrā

dil ke andar dhuum machī hai jag meñ udāsī chhā.ī hai

lahroñ se lahreñ miltī haiñ sāgar umDā aatā hai

mañjdhār meñ basne vaale ne sāhil par jot jagā.ī hai

āḳhirī baat sunā.e koī āḳhirī baat sunīñ kyuuñ ham ne

is duniyā meñ sab se pahle āḳhirī baat sunā.ī hai

Dhab dekhe to hum ne jaana dil mein dhun bhi samai hai

'mira-ji' dana to nahin hai aashiq hai saudai hai

subh-sawere kaun si surat phulwari mein aai hai

Dali Dali jhum uThi hai kali kali lahrai hai

jaani-pahchani surat ko ab to aankhen tarsengi

nae shahr mein jiwan-dewi naya rup bhar lai hai

ek khilauna TuT gaya to aur kai mil jaenge

baalak ye anhoni tujh ko kis bairi ne sujhai hai

dhyan ki dhun hai amar git pahchan liya to bolega

jis ne rah se bhaTkaya tha wahi rah par lai hai

baiThe hain phulwari mein dekhen kab kaliyan khilti hain

bhanwar bhaw to nahin hai kis ne itni rah dikhai hai

jab dil ghabra jata hai to aap hi aap bahalta hai

prem ki rit ise jaano par honi ki chaturai hai

ummiden arman sabhi jul de jaenge jaante the

jaan jaan ke dhoke khae jaan ke baat baDhai hai

apna rang bhala lagta hai kaliyan chaTkin phul banin

phul phul ye jhum ke bola kaliyo tum ko badhai hai

aabshaar ke rang to dekhe lagan manDal kyun yaad nahin

kis ka byah racha hai dekho Dholak hai shahnai hai

aise Dole man ka bajra jaise nain-bich ho kajra

dil ke andar dhum machi hai jag mein udasi chhai hai

lahron se lahren milti hain sagar umDa aata hai

manjdhaar mein basne wale ne sahil par jot jagai hai

aaKHiri baat sunae koi aaKHiri baat sunin kyun hum ne

is duniya mein sab se pahle aaKHiri baat sunai hai
