'mir' dariya hai sune sher zabani us ki
allah allah re tabiat ki rawani us ki

khatir-e-baadiya se dair mein jawegi kahin
khak manind bagule ke udani us ki

ek hai ahd mein apne wo paraganda-mizaj
apni aankhon mein na aaya koi sani us ki

meinh to bauchhaar ka dekha hai baraste tum ne
isi andaz se thi ashk-fishani us ki

baat ki tarz ko dekho to koi jadu tha
par mili khak mein kya sehr-bayani us ki

kar ke tawiz rakhen us ko bahut bhati hai
wo nazar panw pe wo baat diwani us ki

us ka wo ijz tumhaara ye ghurur-e-khubi
minnaten un ne bahut kin pa na mani us ki

kuchh likha hai tujhe har barg pe ai rashk-e-bahaar
ruqa waren hain ye auraq-e-khizani us ki

sarguzisht apni kis andoh se shab kahta tha
so gae tum na suni aah kahani us ki

marsiye dil ke kai kah ke diye logon ko
shahr-e-dilli mein hai sab pas nishani us ki

miyan se nikli hi padti thi tumhaari talwar
kya ewaz chah ka tha khasmi-e-jaani us ki

aable ki si tarah thes lagi phut bahe
dardmandi mein gai sari jawani us ki

ab gae us ke juz afsos nahin kuchh hasil
haif sad haif ki kuchh qadr na jaani us ki
