har zi-hayat ka hai sabab jo hayat ka
nikle hai ji hi us ke liye kaenat ka

bikhri hai zulf us rukh-e-alam-faroz par
warna banao howe na din aur raat ka

dar-parda wo hi mani muqawwam na hon agar
surat na pakde kaam falak ke sabaat ka

hain mustahil khak se ajza-e-nau-khatan
kya sahal hai zamin se nikalna nabaat ka

mustahlak us ke ishq ke jaanen hain qadar-e-marg
isa-o-khizr ko hai maza kab wafat ka

ashjar howen khama-o-ab-e-siyah-behaar
likhna na to bhi ho sake us ki sifat ka

us ke farogh-e-husn se jhumke hai sab mein nur
sham-e-haram ho ya ki diya somnat ka

bizzat hai jahan mein wo maujud har jagah
hai did chashm-e-dil ke khule ain zat ka

har safhe mein hai mahw-e-kalam apna das jagah
mushaf ko khol dekh tak andaz baat ka

hum muznibon mein sirf karam se hai guftugu
mazkur zikr yan nahin saum-o-salat ka

kya 'mir' tujh ko nama-syahi ka fikr hai
khatm-e-rusul sa shakhs hai zamin najat ka
