un kī ḳhushī yahī hai to achchhā yūñhī sahī

ulfat kā naam aaj se dīvāngī sahī

har-chand nā-murād huuñ phir bhī huuñ kāmyāb

koshish to kī hai koshish-e-barbād hī sahī

ġhunchoñ ke dil se pūchhiye lutf-e-shaguftagī

bād-e-sabā pe tohmat-e-āvārgī sahī

jab chhiḌ ga.ī hai kākul-e-sab-rañg kī ġhazal

aise meñ ik qasīda-e-ruḳhsār bhī sahī

'māhir' se ijtināb na farmā.eñ ahl-e-dil

achchhoñ ke saath ek gunahgār bhī sahī
