rāh-e-dūr-e-ishq meñ rotā hai kyā
aage aage dekhiye hotā hai kyā
qāfile meñ sub.h ke ik shor hai
ya.anī ġhāfil ham chale sotā hai kyā
sabz hotī hī nahīñ ye sarzamīñ
tuḳhm-e-ḳhvāhish dil meñ tū botā hai kyā
ye nishān-e-ishq haiñ jaate nahīñ
daaġh chhātī ke abas dhotā hai kyā
ġhairat-e-yūsuf hai ye vaqt-e-azīz
'mīr' us ko rā.egāñ khotā hai kyā
