aah aur ashk hi sada hai yan
roz barsat ki hawa hai yan

jis jagah ho zamin tafta samajh
ki koi dil-jala gada hai yan

go kudurat se wo na dewe ro
aarsi ki tarah safa hai yan

har ghadi dekhte jo ho idhar
aisa ki tum ne aa nikla hai yan

rind muflis jigar mein aah nahin
jaan mahzun hai aur kya hai yan

kaise kaise makan hain suthre
ek azan jumla karbala hai yan

ek sisakta hai ek marta hai
har taraf zulm ho raha hai yan

sad tamanna shahid hain yakja
sina-kubi hai taziya hai yan

didani hai gharaz ye sohbat shokh
roz-o-shab tarfa majra hai yan

khana-e-ashiqan hai ja-e-khub
jae rone ki ja-ba-ja hai yan

koh-o-sahra bhi kar na jae bash
aaj tak koi bhi raha hai yan

hai khabar shart 'mir' sunta hai
tujh se aage ye kuchh hua hai yan

maut majnun ko bhi yahin aai
kohkan kal hi mar gaya hai yan
