sukun-e-qalb ke asbab hum pe band rahe
magar hum ahl-e-mohabbat wafa-pasand rahe

qadam qadam pe sajae gae the dar-o-rasan
khuda ka shukr ki hum phir bhi sar-buland rahe

wo ek hamein the jo sharminda-e-karam na hue
wo nang-e-ishq the jo iltija-pasand rahe

tere sitam ne mere dil ko hausla bakhsha
khuda kare ki tera hausla buland rahe

zaban se taqat-e-guftar chhinne walo
tumhin batao ki kab tak zaban band rahe

jo aashna-e-faza-e-falak the ai 'mahir'
wo khizr bhi to meri gard-e-pa mein band rahe
