Maanind-E-Shamaa Majalis-E-Shab Ashkabaar Paayaa
Al Qissaa ‘Meer Ko Hamane Beikhtiyaar Paayaa
[Maanind-E-Shamaa=like A Lamp; Al Qissaa=briefly]
Shahar-E-Dil Ek Muddat Ujadaa Basaa Gamon Mein
Aakhir Ujaad Denaa Usakaa Qaraar Paayaa
Itanaa Na Dil Se Milate Na Dil Ko Kho Ke Rahate
Jaisaa Kiyaa Thaa Hamane Vaisaa Hii Yaar Paayaa
Kyaa Aitabaar Yaan Kaa Phir Us Ko Khvaar Dekhaa
Jisane Jahaan Mein Aakar Kuchh Aitabaar Paayaa
Aahon Ke Shole Jis Jaan Uthe Hain ‘Meer’ Se Shab
Vaan Jaa Ke Subah Dekhaa Musht-E-Gubaar Paayaa
[Musht-E-Gubaar=handful Of Dust]
