harf-tā-harf uftād kī shā.irī
dil kī ik shahr-e-barbād kī shā.irī
kab samundar kināroñ kā muhtāj hai
kab dil mauj-e-āzād kī shā.irī
bāñsurī kī madhur lai se bāhar nikal
sun zarā rūh-e-nāshād kī shā.irī
tark hotī nahīñ aisī kuchh ādateñ
fikr dād-e-havas daad kī shā.irī
tauba tauba ki rakkhī hai fōtpath par
'mīr' sāhab se ustād kī shā.irī
karte karte sipurd-e-qalam kar ga.ī
mujh pe jaadū parī-zād kī shā.irī
chashm-e-bārāñ kā dukh bāñTanā farz hai
kuchh kareñ abr kī baad kī shā.irī
rabt ke daur meñ ḳhuub likhte the ham
be-sabab be-maza baad kī shā.irī
raat palkoñ meñ 'raḳhshanda' kāTeñge ham
tā-sahar hogī ab yaad kī shā.irī
harf-ta-harf uftad ki shairi
dil ki ek shahr-e-barbaad ki shairi
kab samundar kinaron ka muhtaj hai
kab dil mauj-e-azad ki shairi
bansuri ki madhur lai se bahar nikal
sun zara ruh-e-nashad ki shairi
tark hoti nahin aisi kuchh aadaten
fikr dad-e-hawas dad ki shairi
tauba tauba ki rakkhi hai footpath par
'mir' sahab se ustad ki shairi
karte karte sipurd-e-qalam kar gai
mujh pe jadu pari-zad ki shairi
chashm-e-baran ka dukh banTana farz hai
kuchh karen abr ki baad ki shairi
rabt ke daur mein KHub likhte the hum
be-sabab be-maza baad ki shairi
raat palkon mein 'raKHshanda' kaTenge hum
ta-sahar hogi ab yaad ki shairi
