hum hue tum hue ki mir hue

ham hue tum hue ki 'mīr' hue

us kī zulfoñ ke sab asiir hue

jin kī ḳhātir kī ustuḳhvāñ-shiknī

so ham un ke nishān-e-tīr hue

nahīñ aate kaso kī āñkhoñ meñ

ho ke āshiq bahut haqīr hue

aage ye be-adā.iyāñ kab thiiñ

in dinoñ tum bahut sharīr hue

apne rote hī rote sahrā ke

goshe goshe meñ āb-gīr hue

aisī hastī adam meñ dāḳhil hai

nai javāñ ham na tifl-e-shīr hue

ek dam thī numūd buud apnī

yā safedī kī yā aḳhīr hue

ya.anī mānind-e-sub.h duniyā meñ

ham jo paidā hue sau piir hue

mat mil ahl-e-duval ke laḌkoñ se

'mīr'-jī un se mil faqīr hue

hum hue tum hue ki 'mir' hue

us ki zulfon ke sab asir hue

jin ki KHatir ki ustuKHwan-shikni

so hum un ke nishan-e-tir hue

nahin aate kaso ki aankhon mein

ho ke aashiq bahut haqir hue

aage ye be-adaiyan kab thin

in dinon tum bahut sharir hue

apne rote hi rote sahra ke

goshe goshe mein aab-gir hue

aisi hasti adam mein daKHil hai

nai jawan hum na tifl-e-shir hue

ek dam thi numud bud apni

ya safedi ki ya aKHir hue

yani manind-e-subh duniya mein

hum jo paida hue sau pir hue

mat mil ahl-e-duwal ke laDkon se

'mir'-ji un se mil faqir hue
