khanjar-ba-kaf wo jab se saffak ho gaya hai
mulk in sitam-zadon ka sab pak ho gaya hai

jis se use lagaun rukha hi ho mile hai
sine mein jal kar az-bas dil khak ho gaya hai

kya jaanon lazzat-e-dard us ki jarahaton ki
ye jaanon hun ki sina sab chaak ho gaya hai

sohbat se is jahan ki koi khalas hoga
is fahisha pe sab ko imsak ho gaya hai

diwar kohna hai ye mat baith us ke sae
uth chal ki aasman to ka wak ho gaya hai

sharm-o-haya kahan ki har baat par hai shamshir
ab to bahut wo hum se bebak ho gaya hai

har harf bas-ki roya hai haal par hamare
qasid ke hath mein khat namnak ho gaya hai

zer-e-falak bhala to rowe hai aap ko 'mir'
kis kis tarah ka aalam yan khak ho gaya hai
