ab 'mir'-ji to achchhe zindiq hi ban baithe
peshani pe de qashqa zunnar pahan baithe

aazurda dil-e-ulfat hum chupke hi behtar hain
sab ro uthegi majlis jo kar ke sukhan baithe

uryan phiren kab tak ai kash kahin aa kar
ta gard bayaban ki baala-e-badan baithe

paikan-e-khadang us ka yun sine ke udhar hai
jon mar-e-siyah koi kadhe hue phan baithe

juz khat ke khayal us ke kuchh kaam nahin hum ko
sabzi piye hum aksar rahte hain magan baithe

shamshir-e-sitam us ki ab go ka chale har-dam
shorida-sar apne se hum bandh kafan baithe

bas ho to idhar-udhar yun phirne na den tujh ko
na-chaar tere hum ye dekhen hain chalan baithe
