hum bhi phirte hain yak hasham le kar
dasta-e-dagh-o-fauj-e-gham le kar

dast-kash nala pesh-rau girya
aah chalti hai yan ilm le kar

marg ek mandgi ka waqfa hai
yani aage chalenge dam le kar

us ke upar ki dil se tha nazdik
gham-e-duri chale hain hum le kar

teri waz-e-sitam se ai be-dard
ek aalam gaya alam le kar

barha said-gah se us ki gae
dagh-e-yas aahu-e-haram le kar

zoaf yan tak khincha ki surat-gar
rah gae hath mein qalam le kar

dil pe kab iktifa kare hai ishq
jaega jaan bhi ye gham le kar

shauq agar hai yahi to ai qasid
hum bhi aate hain ab raqam le kar

'mir'-sahib hi chuke a bad-ahd
warna dena tha dil qasam le kar
