bayāz-e-kohna meñ jiddat bharī tahrīr rakhnī hai
purānī niyām meñ ya.anī na.ī shamshīr rakhnī hai
fasīl-e-fikr se girtā huā misra.a uThānā hai
sirhāne ab mujhe har dam kitāb-e-'mīr' rakhnī hai
mujhe tā-umr ranj-e-qaid ko mahsūs karnā hai
mujhe tā-umr apne paas ye zanjīr rakhnī hai
sajāo ḳhvāb koī raat kī be-rañg āñkhoñ meñ
agar baaqī diloñ meñ ḳhvāhish-e-ta.abīr rakhnī hai
ḳhudī se be-ḳhudī kī jañg hai goyā mujhe is pal
muqābil apne hī apnī koī tasvīr rakhnī hai
hameñ apne lahū se dasht ik gulzār karnā hai
hameñ tā-hashr zinda azmat-e-takbīr rakhnī hai
use duniyā ke har ġham se mukammal paak to kar lo
agar is dil meñ buniyād-e-ġham-e-shabbīr rakhnī hai
