mire ġham kī unheñ kis ne ḳhabar kī
ga.ī kyuuñ ghar se bāhar baat ghar kī
ghuTā jaatā hai dam ruḳhsat huā kaun
ye duniyā gard hai kis ke safar kī
ye kaisā khel hai ai chashm-e-pur-fan
udhar kyuuñ ho ga.ī duniyā idhar kī
hunar sīkhā zamāna aib kā thā
ḳhatā kī aur ham ne jaan kar kī
bahut rusvā hue bas ai duā bas
ḳhushāmad ab nahīñ hotī asar kī
bahut kyuuñ ho na rusvā.ī hamārī
yahī to hai kamā.ī umr bhar kī
Talī 'nātiq' musībat jaan le kar
hameñ ruḳhsat kiyā aur aap sarkī
