aage hamare ahd se wahshat ko ja na thi
diwangi kaso ki bhi zanjir-e-pa na thi

begana sa lage hai chaman ab khizan mein hae
aisi gai bahaar magar aashna na thi

kab tha ye shor-e-nauha tera ishq jab na tha
dil tha hamara aage tu matam-sara na thi

wo aur koi hogi sahar jab hui qubul
sharminda-e-asar to hamari dua na thi

aage bhi tere ishq se khinche the dard-o-ranj
lekin hamari jaan par aisi bala na thi

dekhe dayar-e-husn ke mein karwan bahut
lekin kaso ke pas mata-e-wafa na thi

aai pari si parda-e-mina se jam tak
aankhon mein teri dukhtar-e-raz kya haya na thi

is waqt se kya hai mujhe to charagh-e-waqf
makhluq jab jahan mein nasim-o-saba na thi

pazhmurda is qadar hain ki hai shubh hum ko 'mir'
tan mein hamare jaan kabhu thi bhi ya na thi
