purab des ki yaaden laya phir mausam ka tikha-pan
mujh se pahron uns kare hai tanhai ka suna-pan

dil ke rang mahal mein jaise barson koi na jhanka ho
taswiron ki be-nur aankhen shisha-shisha dhundla-pan

kitni bar lahu roya hai kitni bar jale hain charagh
kitne ghamon ki aanch mein nikhra dard ka mitha mitha-pan

hum thahre darwesh janam se pyar kiya to aa baithe
hum se kya ye tikhi nazren hum se kya begana-pan

anjaane logon tak pahuncha zikr tumhaari chahat ka
gali gali mashhur hua hai 'mahir' ka diwana-pan
