kya mere aane pe tu ai but-e-maghrur gaya
kabhi us rah se nikla to tujhe ghur gaya

le gaya subh ke nazdik mujhe khwab ai wae
aankh us waqt khuli qafila jab dur gaya

gor se nale nahin uthte to nai ugti hai
ji gaya par na hamara sar pur-shor gaya

chashm-e-khun-basta se kal raat lahu phir tapka
hum ne jaana tha ki bas ab to ye nasur gaya

na-tawan hum hain ki hain khak gali ki us ki
ab to be-taqati se dil ka bhi maqdur gaya

le kahin munh pe naqab apne ki ai ghairat-e-subh
shama ke chehra-e-rakhshan se to ab nur gaya

nala-e-'mir' nahin raat se sunte hum log
kya tere kuche se ai shokh wo ranjur gaya
