dhajji dhajji jubba-o-dastar hote dekhna
'mir' ko be-ashiqi bhi khwar hote dekhna

kasrat-e-danishwaran ko qaht-e-danish jaanna
wusaton ko dasht ki diwar hote dekhna

rukne wali hai fishaar-e-dam se nabz-e-inhiraf
khud ko ab sar-ta-ba-pa inkar hote dekhna

pir-e-sad-sala se sunna qissa-e-asudgi
lamha lamha zist ko dushwar hote dekhna

dekhna lafzon ko mani se mafar karte hue
chup ke aalam mein mera izhaar hote dekhna

thin jo kal tak shab-guzari ka wasila hijr mein
ab unhin yaadon ko tum aazar hote dekhna

qasr-e-kohna hum ki kuchh mahsus tak karte nahin
sirf apne aap ko mismar hote dekhna
