dil mere aaj phir kushada hai
zakhm khane ka phir irada hai

ruh jaisi azim shai ke liye
jism jaisa koi labaada hai

wo to kal hi bichhad gaya mujh se
aaj phir dard kyon ziyaada hai

kis safar par hai gamzan khilqat
jis ki manzil na koi jada hai

'mir'-o-'ghaalib' mera taaruf hain
hae kya mera khanwada hai

ab bhi us par yaqin hai tera
tu bhi 'iqrar' kitna sada hai
