kal chaman mein gul-o-saman dekha
aaj dekha to bagh ban dekha

kya hai gulshan mein jo qafas mein nahin
aashiqon ka jila-watan dekha

zauq paikan-e-tir mein tere
muddaton tak jigar ne chhin dekha

ghar ke ghar jalte the pade tere
dagh-e-dil dekhe bas chaman dekha

ek chashmak-e-do-sad sinan-e-mizha
is nukile ka bankpan dekha

shukr zahid ka apni aankhon mein
mai-e-iwaz khirqa-e-murtahin dekha

hasrat us ki jagah thi khwabida
'mir' ka khol kar kafan dekha
