ek tabassum ka e'tibar kiya
aql ne sadgi se pyar kiya

asl se wahima tarasha aur
phir usi wahime ko yar kiya

dekhte ho hamari zud-hisi
chashm-e-ahu ne dil shikar kiya

dil pe jaez tera ijara tha
tu ne kis khauf se farar kiya

ab koi justuju nahin bhati
yun teri justuju ne khwar kiya

us ki chahat ajib thi jis ne
mere bujhne ka intizar kiya

shukr parwardigar us ne mujhe
meri hasti ka gham-gusar kiya

'mir'-sahib ko munh dikhana tha
mazhab-e-ishq ikhtiyar kiya

ye ghazal kya kahi ki phir 'jauhar'
mah-para ko be-qarar kiya
