pattharon se dostana kya hua
aaj tak hai aaina tuta hua

der se suraj jo hai duba hua
hai andhera har taraf chhaya hua

unchi unchi chimniyon mein aaj bhi
dekhta hun main lahu jalta hua

teri parwazen bahut mahdud hain
aasman hai dur tak phaila hua

kyon dayar-e-fikr mein hai tirgi
kya ghazal ka 'mir' hai soya hua

us ko apni aan thukrana padi
main badi mushkil se diwana hua

aandhiyon ki zad mein wo bhi aa gaya
jo diya tha taq par jalta hua
