sair ke qabil hai dil-sad-para us nakhchir ka
jis ke har tukde mein ho paiwast paikan tir ka

sab khula bagh-e-jahan illa ye hairan-o-khafa
jis ko dil samjhe the hum so ghuncha tha taswir ka

bu-e-khun se ji ruka jata hai ai baad-e-bahaar
ho gaya hai chaak dil shayad kaso dil-gir ka

kyunke naqqash-e-azal ne naqsh abru ka kiya
kaam hai ek tere munh par khinchna shamshir ka

rahguzar sail-e-hawadis ka hai be-buniyaad-e-dahr
is kharabe mein na karna qasd tum tamir ka

bas tabib uth ja meri baalin se mat de dard-e-sar
kaam yan aakhir hua ab faeda tadbir ka

nala-kash hain ahd-e-piri mein bhi tere dar pe hum
qadd-e-kham-gashta hamara halqa hai zanjir ka

jo tere kuche mein aaya phir wahin gada use
tishna-e-khun mein to hun us khak-e-daman-gir ka

khun se mere hui yak-dam khushi tum ko to lek
muft mein jata raha ji ek be-taqsir ka

lakht-e-dil se jun chhidi phulon ki gundhi hai wale
faeda kuchh ai jigar is aah-e-be-tasir ka

gor-e-majanun se na jawenge kahin hum be-nawa
aib hai hum mein jo chhoden dher apne pir ka

kis tarah se maniye yaro ki ye aashiq nahin
rang uda jata hai tak chehra to dekho 'mir' ka
