mar rahte jo gul bin to sara ye khalal jata
nikla hi na ji warna kanta sa nikal jata

paida hai ki pinhan thi aatish-nafsi meri
main zabt na karta to sab shahr ye jal jata

main girya-e-khunin ko roke hi raha warna
ek dam mein zamane ka yan rang badal jata

bin puchhe karam se wo jo bakhsh na deta to
pursish mein hamari hi din hashr ka dhal jata

istada jahan mein tha maidan-e-mohabbat mein
wan rustam agar aata to dekh ke tal jata

wo sair ka wadi ke mail na hua warna
aankhon ko ghazalon ki panw tale mal jata

be-tab-o-tawan yun main kahe ko talaf hota
yaquti tere lab ki milti to sambhal jata

us sim-badan ko thi kab tab-e-tab itni
wo chandni mein shab ki hota to pighal jata

mara gaya tab guzra bose se tere lab ke
kya 'mir' bhi ladka tha baaton mein bahal jata
