mujh sa betab howe jab koi
be-qarari ko jaane tab koi

han khuda maghfirat kare us ko
sabr marhum tha ajab koi

jaan de go masih par us se
baat kahte hain tere lab koi

baad mere hi ho gaya sunsan
sone paya tha warna kab koi

us ke kuche mein hashr the mujh tak
aah-o-nala kare na ab koi

ek gham mein hun main hi aalam mein
yun to shadan hai aur sab koi

na-samajh yun khafa bhi hota hai
mujh se mukhlis se be-sabab koi

aur mahzun bhi hum sune the wale
'mir' sa ho sake hai kab koi

ki talaffuz tarab ka sun ke kahe
shakhs hoga kahin tarab koi
