mizhgāñ ne rokā āñkhoñ meñ dam intizār se
uljhe haiñ ḳhaar dāman-e-bād-e-bahār se
matlab ḳhizāñ se hai na ġharaz hai bahār se
ham dil uThā chuke chaman-e-rozgār se
ye gul khilā na lāla-ruḳhoñ ke firāq meñ
ham daaġh le chale chaman-e-rozgār se
bismil jo haiñ to ham haiñ taḌapte jo haiñ to ham
vo ḳhush haiñ said-gāh meñ sair-e-shikār se
āġhāz-e-ishq hai vo baḌhāte haiñ rasm-o-rāh
ham dil meñ ḳhauf karte haiñ anjām-e-kār se
un ko huā jo nashsha-e-mai merī ban paḌī
parda khulā na dāman-e-mauj-e-ḳhumār se
kalkatta se bhī kījiye hāsil koī to ilm
sīkheñge sehr-e-sāmrī ham chashm-e-yār se
ai 'mehr' ye ġhazal vo pur-ejāz-o-garm hai
'ātish' agar sune nikal aa.e mazār se
mizhgan ne roka aankhon mein dam intizar se
uljhe hain KHar daman-e-baad-e-bahaar se
matlab KHizan se hai na gharaz hai bahaar se
hum dil uTha chuke chaman-e-rozgar se
ye gul khila na lala-ruKHon ke firaq mein
hum dagh le chale chaman-e-rozgar se
bismil jo hain to hum hain taDapte jo hain to hum
wo KHush hain said-gah mein sair-e-shikar se
aaghaz-e-ishq hai wo baDhate hain rasm-o-rah
hum dil mein KHauf karte hain anjam-e-kar se
un ko hua jo nashsha-e-mai meri ban paDi
parda khula na daman-e-mauj-e-KHumar se
kalkatta se bhi kijiye hasil koi to ilm
sikhenge sehr-e-samri hum chashm-e-yar se
ai 'mehr' ye ghazal wo pur-ejaz-o-garm hai
'atish' agar sune nikal aae mazar se
