garmī jo aa.ī ghar kā havā-dān khul gayā

sāhil pe jab gayā to har insān khul gayā

pahle to long-march ke haq meñ diyā bayān

phir 'qādrī' ko dekh ke 'imrran' khul gayā

ik maulvī kī aañkh meñ bīnā.ī aa ga.ī

jab rail meñ kisī kā garebān khul gayā

tum nāshte kī mez pe baiThī ho is tarah

yuuñ lag rahā hai jaise namak-dān khul gayā

do chaar din se merī samā.at block thī

tum ne ġhazal paḌhī to mirā kaan khul gayā

lauTe vo jab safar se kanīzoñ ne ye kahā

bhāgo janāb-e-shaiḳh kā sāmān khul gayā

mere ḳhutūt paḌh ke vo rotī hai is tarah

lagtā hai 'mīr-anīs' kā dīvān khul gayā

mere ishā.iye kā thā Time ishā ke ba.ad

āġhāz-e-guftugū meñ hī mehmān khul gayā

bazm-e-suḳhan meñ puurī musaddas uñDel kar

had se ziyāda 'ḳhālid'-e-irfān khul gayā
