ishq mein nai khauf-o-khatar chahiye
jaan ke dene ko jigar chahiye

qabil-e-aghosh sitam didgan
ashk sa pakiza guhar chahiye

haal ye pahuncha hai ki ab zoaf se
uthte palak ek pahar chahiye

kam hai shanasa-e-zar-e-dagh-e-dil
us ke parakhne ko nazar chahiye

sainkadon marte hain sada phir bhi yan
waqia ek sham-o-sahar chahiye

ishq ke aasar hain ai bul-hawas
dagh ba-dil-e-dast basar chahiye

shart saliqa hai har ek amar mein
aib bhi karne ko hunar chahiye

jaise jaras para gulo kya karun
nala-o-afghan mein asar chahiye

khauf qayamat ka yahi hai ki 'mir'
hum ko jiya bar-e-digar chahiye
