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-e-bayaban ki baala-e-badan baithe

paikan 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 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
