mizhgan ne roka aankhon mein dam intizar se
uljhe hain khar daman-e-baad-e-bahaar se

matlab khizan se hai na gharaz hai bahaar se
hum dil utha chuke chaman-e-rozgar se

ye gul khila na lala-rukhon ke firaq mein
hum dagh le chale chaman-e-rozgar se

bismil jo hain to hum hain tadapte jo hain to hum
wo khush hain said-gah mein sair-e-shikar se

aaghaz-e-ishq hai wo badhate hain rasm-o-rah
hum dil mein khauf karte hain anjam-e-kar se

un ko hua jo nashsha-e-mai meri ban padi
parda khula na daman-e-mauj-e-khumar se

kalkatta se bhi kijiye hasil koi to ilm
sikhenge sehr-e-samri hum chashm-e-yar se

ai 'mehr' ye ghazal wo pur-ejaz-o-garm hai
'atish' agar sune nikal aae mazar se
