ghamze ne us ke chori mein dil ki hunar kiya
us khanuman-kharab ne aankhon mein ghar kiya

rang ud chala chaman mein gulon ka to kya nasim
hum ko to rozgar ne be-baal-o-par kiya

nafe jo thin mizaj ko awwal so ishq mein
aakhir unhin dawaon ne hum ko zarar kiya

marta hun jaan den hain watan-dariyon pe log
aur sunte jate hain ki har ek ne safar kiya

kya jaanun bazm-e-aish ki saqi ki chashm dekh
main sohbat-e-sharab se aage safar kiya

jis dam ki tegh-e-ishq khinchi bul-hawas kahan
sun lijiyo ki hum hi ne sina-sipar kiya

dil zakhmi ho ke tujh tain pahuncha to kam nahin
is nim-kushta ne bhi qayamat jigar kiya

hai kaun aap mein jo mile tujh se mast naz
zauq-e-khabar hi ne to hamein be-khabar kya

wo dasht-e-khaufnak raha hai mera watan
sun kar jise khizr ne safar se hazar kiya

kuchh kam nahin hain shoabda-bazon se mai-gusar
daru pila ke shaikh ko aadam se khar kiya

hain chaaron taraf kheme khade gard-baad ke
kya jaaniye junun ne irada kidhar kiya

luknat teri zaban ki hai sahar jis se shokh
yak harf-e-nim-gufta ne dil par asar kiya

be-sharm mahz hai wo gunahgar jin ne 'mir'
abr-e-karam ke samne daman tar kiya
