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
