nale ka aaj dil se phir lab talak guzar hai
tak gosh rakhiyo idhar sath us ke kuchh khabar hai

ai hubb-e-jah walo jo aaj tajwar hai
kal us ko dekhiyo tum ne taj hai na sar hai

ab ki hawa-e-gul mein sairabi hai nihayat
ju-e-chaman pe sabza mizhgan-e-chashm-e-tar hai

ai ham-safir-e-be-gul kis ko dimagh-e-nala
muddat hui hamari minqar-e-zer par hai

sham-e-akhir-e-shab hun san sar-guzasht meri
phir subh hote tak to qissa hi mukhtasar hai

ab rahm par usi ke mauquf hai ki yan to
nai ashk mein sarayat nai aah mein asar hai

tu hi zamam apni nake tuda ki majnun
muddat se naqsh-e-pa ke manind rah par hai

hum mast-e-ishq waiz be-hech bhi nahin hain
ghafil jo be-khabar hain kuchh un ko bhi khabar hai

ab phir hamara is ka mahshar mein majra hai
dekhen to us jagah kya insaf dad-gar hai

aafat-rasida hum kya sar khinchen us chaman mein
jon nakhl-e-khushk hum ko nai saya nai samar hai

kar 'mir' us zamin mein aur ek ghazal to mauzun
hai harf-zan qalam bhi ab taba bhi idhar hai
