bas-ki hai gardun-e-dun-parwar dani

bas-ki hai gardūn-e-dūñ-parvar danī

hove paivand-e-zamīñ ye raftanī

bazm meñ se ab to chal ai rashk-e-sub.h

sham' ke muñh par phirī hai murdanī

maiñ charāġh-e-sub.h-gāhī huuñ nasīm

mujh se ik dam ke liye kyā dushmanī

mujh sā mehnat-kash mohabbat meñ nahīñ

har zamāñ kartā rahā huuñ jāñ-kanī

kuchh gadā shā'ir nahīñ huuñ 'mīr' maiñ

thā mirā sar-mashq dīvān-e-‘ġhanī’

bas-ki hai gardun-e-dun-parwar dani

howe paiwand-e-zamin ye raftani

bazm mein se ab to chal ai rashk-e-subh

sham' ke munh par phiri hai murdani

main charagh-e-subh-gahi hun nasim

mujh se ek dam ke liye kya dushmani

mujh sa mehnat-kash mohabbat mein nahin

har zaman karta raha hun jaan-kani

kuchh gada sha'ir nahin hun 'mir' main

tha mera sar-mashq diwan-e-‘ghani’
