us ki khwahish pe nae sher barabar kahna
aur phir sun ke unhen us ka mukarrar kahna

khushk aankhen liye hansta hua dekho jis ko
us ko sahra nahin kah dena samundar kahna

kya ajab hai ki ho bete ki faqat haar pe haar
aur man ka use har bar sikandar kahna

ye to hum hain bade dil wale jo kah dete hain
warna aasan nahin apne se behtar kahna

pahle hum 'mir' ke qadmon ko zara chum aaen
baad mein yaro hamein khul ke sukhnawar kahna

ishq ke maron ko kahna nahin dekho kuchh bhi
aur agar kahna hi chaho to qalandar kahna
