us ne koi to dam padha hua hai
jis ne dekha wo mubtala hua hai

ab tere raste se bach niklun
ek yahi rasta bacha hua hai

aao taqrib-e-ru-numai karen
panw mein ek aabla hua hai

phir wahi bahs chhed dete ho
itni mushkil se rabta hua hai

raat ki wardat mat puchho
waqai ek waqia hua hai

lag raha hai ye narm lahje se
phir tujhe koi masala hua hai

main kahan aur wo fasil kahan
fasle ka hi faisla hua hai

itna masruf ho gaya hun ki bas
'mir' bhi ek taraf pada hua hai

aaj kuchh bhi nahin hua 'jawwad'
han magar ek saneha hua hai
