rang-e-khizan chaman ki shagufta nazar mein dekh
khwabida zulmaten hain ziya-e-sahar mein dekh

kaifiyyat-e-jamal dil-e-yas asar mein rakh
jannat simat ke aa gai meri nazar mein dekh

mahsus ho rahi hain shuaen si nur ki
main jazb ho gaya hun tere sang-e-dar mein dekh

ai ham-nafas haqiqat-e-tul-e-shab-e-firaq
mujh se na puchh zindagi-e-mukhtasar mein dekh

firdaus-e-mai-kada hai har ek manzar-e-khayal
dhalti hui sharab ka aalam nazar mein dekh

mahsus kar raha hun fareb-e-nigah ko
raqsan tajalliyan hain meri chashm-e-tar mein dekh

har imtihan-e-rah-e-wafa se guzar chuka
'mahir' ka ab waqar jahan ki nazar mein dekh
