'Mir' dariyaa hai, sune sher zabaanii us kii
allaah allaah re tabiyat kii ravaanii us kii

mi.nh to bochhaa.D kaa dekhaa hai barasate tumane
isii a.ndaaz se thii ashk-fishaanii us kii

%[mi.nh = water]

baat kii tarz ko dekho to ko_ii jaduu thaa
par milii Kaak me.n sab sahar bayaanii us kii

%[sahar = magic]

marsi-e-dil ke ka_ii kah ke diye logo.n ne
shahar-e-dillii me.n hai sab paas nishaanii us kii

%[marsiyaa = song/poem of mourning/elegy]

ab gaye us ke jo afasos nahii.n kuchh haasil
haif sad haif ki kuchh qadr na jaanii us kii

%[haif = alas!; sad = hundred]
