hum se kuchh aage zamane mein hua kya kya kuchh
to bhi hum ghafilon ne aa ke kya kya kuchh

dil jigar jaan ye bhasmant hue sine mein
ghar ko aatish di mohabbat ne jala kya kya kuchh

kya kahun tujh se ki kya dekha hai tujh mein main ne
ishwa-o-ghamza-o-andaz-o-ada kya kya kuchh

dil gaya hosh gaya sabr gaya ji bhi gaya
shaghl mein gham ke tere hum se gaya kya kya kuchh

aah mat puchh sitamgar ki tujh se thi hamein
chashm-e-lutf-o-karam-o-mahr-o-wafa kya kya kuchh

nam hain khasta-o-awara-o-bad-nam mere
ek aalam ne gharaz mujh ko kaha kya kya kuchh

tarfa-e-sohbat hai ki sunta nahin tu ek meri
waste tere suna main ne suna kya kya kuchh

hasrat-e-wasl-o-gham-e-hijr-o-khayal-e-rukh-e-dost
mar gaya main pe mere ji mein raha kya kya kuchh

dard-e-dil zakhm-e-jigar kulfat-e-gham dagh-e-firaq
aah aalam se mere sath chala kya kya kuchh

chashm-e-namnak-o-dil par jigar sad-para
daulat-e-ishq se hum pas bhi tha kya kya kuchh

tujh ko kya banne bigadne se zamane ke ki yan
khak kin kin ki hui sirf bana kya kya kuchh

qibla-o-kaba khuda-wand-o-malaz-o-mushfiq
muztarib ho ke use main ne likha kya kya kuchh

par kahun kya raqam shauq ki apne tasir
har sar-e-harf pe wo kahne laga kya kya kuchh

ek mahrum chale 'mir' hamein aalam se
warna aalam ko zamane ne diya kya kya kuchh
