yar ne hum se be-adai ki
wasl ki raat mein ladai ki

baal-o-par bhi gae bahaar ke sath
ab tawaqqo nahin rihai ki

kulfat-e-ranj-e-ishq kam na hui
main dawa ki bahut shifai ki

turfa raftar ke hain rafta sab
dhum hai us ki rahgirai ki

khanda-e-yar se taraf ho kar
barq ne apni jag-hansai ki

kuchh murawwat na thi un aankhon mein
dekh kar kya ye aashnai ki

wasl ke din ko kar-e-jaan na khincha
shab na aakhir hui judai ki

munh lagaya na dukhtar-e-raz ko
main jawani mein parsai ki

jaur us sang-dil ke sab na khinche
umr ne sakht bewafai ki

kohkan kya pahad todega
ishq ne zor-azmai ki

chupke us ki gali mein phirte rahe
der wan hum ne be-nawai ki

ek nigah mein hazar ji mare
sahiri ki ki dilrubai ki

nisbat us aastan se kuchh na hui
barson tak hum ne jabha-sai ki

'mir' ki bandagi mein jaan-bazi
sair si ho gai khudai ki
