aitaraf-e-hunar, arbab-e-hunar karte hain

Dil pe karte hain dimagon pe asar karte hain
ham ajab log hain zehnon main safar karte hain

jab sarape pe kahin us ke nazar karte hain
mir sahab ki tarah umr basar karte hain



bandishen ham ko kisi hal gavara hi nahin
ham to vo log hain divar ko dar karte hain



vaqt ki tez-kharami hamain kya rokegi
janbish-e-kalk se sadiyon ka safar karte hain



naqsh-e-pa apana kahin rah main hota hi nahin
sar se karte hain mohim jab koi sar karte hain



ham-nashin khub hai ye mahafil-e-yaran ke yahan
vo saliqa hai ke aibon ko hunar karte hain



kya kahen hal tera ai mutamaddin duniya
janvar bhi nahin karte jo bashar karte hain



ham ko dushman ki bhi taqlif gavara na hui
log ehbab se bhi sarf-e-nazar karte hain



marqadon pe to charagan hai shab-o-roz magar
umr kuchh log andheron main basar karte hain



tazakara mir ka Galib ki zaban tak aya
aitaraf-e-hunar, arbab-e-hunar karte hain
