gul ko mahbub ham-qayas kiya
farq nikla bahut jo pas kiya

dil ne hum ko misal-e-aina
ek aalam ka ru-shanas kiya

kuchh nahin sujhta hamein us bin
shauq ne hum ko be-hawas kiya

ishq mein hum hue na diwane
qais ki aabru ka pas kiya

daur se charkh ke nikal na sake
zoaf ne hum ko murtas kiya

subh tak shama sar ko dhunti rahi
kya patinge ne iltimas kiya

tujh se kya kya tawaqqoen thin hamein
so tere zulm ne niras kiya

aise wahshi kahan hain ai khuban
'mir' ko tum abas udas kiya
