muu.Nh takaa hii kare hai jis-tis kaa
hairatii hai ye aaiinaa kis kaa

shaam se bujhaa bujhaa saa rahataa hai
dil huaa hai chiraaG muflis kaa

the bure muGabacho.n ke tevar lek
shaiKh maiKhaane se bhalaa khisakaa

faiz-e-abr chashm-e-tar se uThaa
aaj daaman vasii hai is kaa

taab kis ko jo haal-e-'Meer' sune
haal hii aur kuchh hai majalis kaa
