dil-o-dimagh hai ab kis ko zindagani ka
jo koi dam hai to afsos hai jawani ka

agarche umr ke das din ye lab rahe khamosh
sukhan rahega sada meri kam-zabani ka

subuk hai aawe jo mindil rakh namaz ko shaikh
raha hai kaun sa ab waqt sargirani ka

hazar jaan se qurban be-pari ke hain
khayal bhi kabhu guzra na par-fishani ka

phire hai khinche hi talwar mujh pe har-dam to
ki said hun main teri dushmani jaani ka

numud kar ke wahin bahr-e-gham mein baith gaya
kahe to 'mir' bhi ek bulbula tha pani ka
