ranj khinche the dagh khae the
dil ne sadme bade uthae the

pas-e-namus-e-ishq tha warna
kitne aansu palak tak aae the

wahi samjha na warna hum ne to
zakhm chhati ke sab dikhae the

ab jahan aaftab mein hum hain
yan kabhu sarw o gul ke sae the

kuchh na samjhe ki tujh se yaron ne
kis tawaqqoa pe dil lagae the

fursat-e-zindagi se mat puchho
sans bhi hum na lene pae the

'mir' sahab rula gae sab ko
kal we tashrif yan bhi lae the
