ek purani sharab jaisa ishq
mujh se khana-kharab jaisa ishq

'mir' ki ek ghazal sa dil-afroz
ek muqaddas kitab jaisa ishq

hai gunah bhi yahi ibaadat bhi
aaqibat ke hisab jaisa ishq

kabhi sahra kabhi samundar hai
kabhi ganga ke aab jaisa ishq

sau duaon ka mustaqil ehsas
bandagi ke sawab jaisa ishq

aab-e-zam-zam hai is ko pi lije
hai muqaddas sharab jaisa ishq

mukhtasar bahr ki hai meri ghazal
is ghazal ke jawab jaisa ishq

kisi mashuq ke badan ki mahak
ek taza gulab jaisa ishq
