Mir' darya hai, sune sher zabani us ki,
Allah Allah re tabiyat ki rawani us ki,

minh to bochar ka dekha hai barste tumne,
isi andaz se thi ashk-fishani us ki,

bat ki tarz ko dekho to koi jadu tha,
par mili khak mein sab sahar bayani us ki,

marsi-e-dil k kai kah k diye logon ne,
shahr-e-dili mein hai sab pas nishani us ki,

ab gaye us k jo afasos nahin kuchh hasil,
haif sad haif ki kuchh qadr na jani us ki.
