jis jagah daur-e-jam hota hai
wan ye aajiz mudam hota hai

hum to ek harf ke nahin mamnun
kaisa khatt-o-payam hota hai

tegh nakaamon pe na har dam khinch
ek karishme mein kaam hota hai

puchh mat aah aashiqon ki maash
roz un ka bhi sham hota hai

zakhm bin gham bin aur ghussa bin
apna khana haram hota hai

shaikh ki si hi shakl hai shaitan
jis pe shab ahtelam hota hai

qatl ko main kaha to uth bola
aaj kal subh-o-sham hota hai

aakhir aaunga nash par ab aah
ki ye aashiq tamam hota hai

'mir' sahab bhi us ke han the par
jaise koi ghulam hota hai
