makka gaya madina gaya karbala gaya
makka gayā madīna gayā karbalā gayā
jaisā gayā thā vaisā hī chal phir ke aa gayā
dekhā ho kuchh us āmad-o-shud meñ to maiñ kahūñ
ḳhud gum huā huuñ baat kī tah ab jo pā gayā
kapḌe gale ke mere na hoñ āb-dīda kyuuñ
mānind-e-abr dīda-e-tar ab to chhā gayā
jāñ-soz aah o naala samajhtā nahīñ huuñ maiñ
yak sho.ala mere dil se uThā thā jalā gayā
vo mujh se bhāgtā hī phirā kibr-o-nāz se
juuñ juuñ niyāz kar ke maiñ us se lagā gayā
jor-e-sip.har-e-dūñ se burā haal thā bahut
maiñ sharm-e-nā-kasī se zamīñ meñ samā gayā
dekhā jo raah jaate tabaḳhtūr ke saath use
phir mujh shikasta-pā se na ik-dam rahā gayā
baiThā to boriye ke ta.iiñ sar pe rakh ke 'mīr'
saf kis adab se ham fuqarā kī uThā gayā
makka gaya madina gaya karbala gaya
jaisa gaya tha waisa hi chal phir ke aa gaya
dekha ho kuchh us aamad-o-shud mein to main kahun
KHud gum hua hun baat ki tah ab jo pa gaya
kapDe gale ke mere na hon aab-dida kyun
manind-e-abr dida-e-tar ab to chha gaya
jaan-soz aah o nala samajhta nahin hun main
yak shoala mere dil se uTha tha jala gaya
wo mujh se bhagta hi phira kibr-o-naz se
jun jun niyaz kar ke main us se laga gaya
jor-e-siphar-e-dun se bura haal tha bahut
main sharm-e-na-kasi se zamin mein sama gaya
dekha jo rah jate tabaKHtur ke sath use
phir mujh shikasta-pa se na ik-dam raha gaya
baiTha to boriye ke tain sar pe rakh ke 'mir'
saf kis adab se hum fuqara ki uTha gaya
