shauq hai to hai us ka ghar nazdik
duri-e-rah hai rahbar nazdik

aah karne mein dam ko sadhe rah
kahte hain dil se hai jigar nazdik

dur walon ko bhi na pahunche hum
yahi na tum se hain magar nazdik

duben dariya-o-koh-o-shahr-o-dasht
tujh se sab kuchh hai chashm-e-tar nazdik

harf duri hai garche insha lek
dijo khat ja ke nama-bar nazdik

dur ab baithte hain majlis mein
hum jo tum se the beshtar nazdik

khabar aati hai so bhi dur se yan
aao yak-bar be-khabar nazdik

tosha-e-akhirat ka fikr rahe
ji se jaane ka hai safar nazdik

daur phirne ka hum se waqt gaya
puchh kuchh haal baith kar nazdik

mar bhi rah 'mir' shab bahut roya
hai meri jaan ab sahar nazdik
