mahr ki tujh se tawaqqoa thi sitamgar nikla
mom samjhe the tere dil ko so patthar nikla

dagh hun rashk-e-mohabbat se ki itna betab
kis ki taskin ke liye ghar se tu bahar nikla

jite ji aah tere kuche se koi na phira
jo sitam-dida raha ja ke so mar kar nikla

dil ki aabaadi ki is had hai kharabi ki na puchh
jaana jata hai ki us rah se lashkar nikla

ashk-e-tar qatra-e-khun lakht-e-jigar para-e-dil
ek se ek adad aankh se bah kar nikla

kunj-kawi jo ki sine ki gham-e-hijran ne
is dafine mein se aqsam-e-jawahar nikla

hum ne jaana tha likhega tu koi harf ai 'mir'
par tera nama to ek shauq ka daftar nikla
