kali kahte hain us ka sa dahan hai
suna kariye ki ye bhi ek sukhan hai

tapakte dard hain aansu ki jaga
ilahi chashm ya zakhm-e-kuhan hai

khabar le pir-e-kanan ki ki kuchh aaj
nipat aawara bu-e-pairahan hai

nahin daman mein lala be-sutun ke
koi dil-e-dagh khun-e-kohkan hai

shahadat-gah hai bagh-e-zamana
ki har gul us mein ek khunin-kafan hai

karun kya hasrat-e-gul ko wagarna
dil par dagh bhi apna chaman hai

jo de aaram tak aawargi 'mir'
to sham-e-ghurbat ek subh-e-watan hai
