yaad-e-ayyam ki yan tark-e-shakebai tha
har gali shahr ki yan kucha-e-ruswai tha

itni guzri jo tere hijr mein so us ke sabab
sabr marhum ajab monis-e-tanhai tha

tere jalwe ka magar ru tha sahr-e-gulshan mein
nargis ek dida-e-hairan tamashai tha

yahi zulfon ki teri baat thi ya kakul ki
'mir' ko khub kiya sair to saudai tha
