ek tabassum ka etibar kiya

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
