yaksu kushada-rawi par chin nahin jabin bhi
hum chhodi mahr us ki kash us ko howe kin bhi

aansu to tere daman ponchhe hai waqt girya
hum ne na rakhi munh par ai abr-e-astin bhi

karta nahin abas to para gulo-fughan se
guzre hai par dil ke ek nala-e-hazin bhi

hun ehtizar mein main aaina-ru shitab aa
jata hai warna ghafil phir dam to wapsin bhi

sine se tir us ka ji ko to leta nikla
par sathon sath us ke nikli ek aafrin bhi

har shab teri gali mein aalam ki jaan ja hai
aage hawa hai ab tak aisa sitam kahin bhi

shokhi-e-jalwa us ki taskin kyunke bakhshe
aainon mein dilon ke jo hai bhi phir nahin bhi

gesu hi kuchh nahin hai sumbul ki aafat us ka
hain barq khirman-e-gul rukhsar-e-atishin bhi

taklif-e-nala mat kar ai dard dil ki honge
ranjida rah chalte aazurda ham-nashin bhi

kis kis ka dagh dekhen yarab gham-e-butan mein
rukhsat talab hai jaan bhi iman aur din bhi

zer-e-falak jahan tak aasuda 'mir' hote
aisa nazar na aaya ek qata-e-zamin bhi
