baḳht jaage to jahāñ-dīda sī ho jaatī hai
shaḳhsiyat aur bhī sanjīda sī ho jaatī hai

go hama-vaqt na.ī lagtī hai duniyā lekin
shai purānī ho to bosīda sī ho jaatī hai

kaun hai vo ki jise muuñd luuñ āñkheñ dekhūñ
aañkh khul jaa.e to poshīda sī ho jaatī hai

khel hī khel meñ laḌkī vo sharārat vaalī
baat hī baat meñ sanjīda sī ho jaatī hai

maiñ vo aazar na tarāshūñ koī mūrat lekin
jis ko chhū luuñ vo tarāshīda sī ho jaatī hai

yaad aate haiñ mujhe 'mīr' ke ash.ār 'zafar'
jab tabī.at mirī ranjīda sī ho jaatī hai

baKHt jage to jahan-dida si ho jati hai
shaKHsiyat aur bhi sanjida si ho jati hai

go hama-waqt nai lagti hai duniya lekin
shai purani ho to bosida si ho jati hai

kaun hai wo ki jise mund lun aankhen dekhun
aankh khul jae to poshida si ho jati hai

khel hi khel mein laDki wo shararat wali
baat hi baat mein sanjida si ho jati hai

main wo aazar na tarashun koi murat lekin
jis ko chhu lun wo tarashida si ho jati hai

yaad aate hain mujhe 'mir' ke ashaar 'zafar'
jab tabiat meri ranjida si ho jati hai
