ulaTii ho gaii.n sab tadabiire.n, kuchh na davaa ne kaam kiyaa
Meer Taqi Meer

ulaTii ho gaii.n sab tadabiiren, kuchh na davaa ne kaam kiyaa
dekhaa is biimaarii-e-dil ne aaKhir kaam tamaam kiyaa

ahd-e-javaanii ro-ro kaaTaa, piirii me.n lii.n aa.Nkhe.n muu.Nd
yaani raat bahot the jaage subah huii aaraam kiyaa

[piirii=old age]

naahaq ham majabuuro.n par tohamat hai muKhtaarii kii
chaahate hai.n so aap kare hai.n, hamako abas badanaam kiyaa

[naahaq=unnecessarily; tohmat=slander/accusation; abas=idle/useless]

sarazad ham se be-adabii to wahashat me.n bhii kam hii huii
koso.n us kii or gae par sajdaa har har gaam kiyaa

[sarazad=to do]

aise aaho-eharam-Khurdaa kii wahashat khonii mushkil thii
sihar kiyaa, ijaaz kiyaa, jin logo.n ne tujh ko raam kiyaa

yaa.N ke saped-o-syaah me.n hamako daKhal jo hai so itanaa hai
raat ko ro-ro subah kiyaa, din ko jyo.n-tyo.n shaam kiyaa

'Mir' ke diin-o-mazahab ko ab puuchhate kyaa ho un ne to
qashqaa khii.nchaa, dair me.n baiThaa, kab kaa tark islaam kiyaa
