ek main bhi hun kulah-daron ke bich
ek maiñ bhī huuñ kulah-dāroñ ke biich
'mīr' sāhab ke parastāroñ ke biich
raushnī aadhī idhar aadhī udhar
ik diyā rakkhā hai dīvāroñ ke biich
maiñ akelī aañkh thā kyā dekhtā
ā.īna-ḳhāne the nazzāroñ ke biich
hai yaqīñ mujh ko ki sayyāre pe huuñ
aadmī rahte haiñ sayyāroñ ke biich
khā gayā insāñ ko āshob-e-ma.āsh
aa ga.e haiñ shahr bāzāroñ ke biich
maiñ faqīr ibn-e-faqīr ibn-e-faqīr
aur askandar huuñ sardāroñ ke biich
apnī vīrānī ke gauhar roltā
raqs meñ huuñ aur bāzāroñ ke biich
koī us kāfir ko us lamhe sune
guftugū kartā hai jab yāroñ ke biich
ahl-e-dil ke darmiyāñ the 'mīr' tum
ab suḳhan hai sho.abada-kāroñ ke biich
aañkh vaale ko nazar aa.e 'alīm'
ik mohammad-mustafā sāroñ ke biich
ek main bhi hun kulah-daron ke bich
'mir' sahab ke parastaron ke bich
raushni aadhi idhar aadhi udhar
ek diya rakkha hai diwaron ke bich
main akeli aankh tha kya dekhta
aaina-KHane the nazzaron ke bich
hai yaqin mujh ko ki sayyare pe hun
aadmi rahte hain sayyaron ke bich
kha gaya insan ko aashob-e-maash
aa gae hain shahr bazaron ke bich
main faqir ibn-e-faqir ibn-e-faqir
aur askandar hun sardaron ke bich
apni virani ke gauhar rolta
raqs mein hun aur bazaron ke bich
koi us kafir ko us lamhe sune
guftugu karta hai jab yaron ke bich
ahl-e-dil ke darmiyan the 'mir' tum
ab suKHan hai shoabada-karon ke bich
aankh wale ko nazar aae 'alim'
ek mohammad-mustafa saron ke bich
