zaban rakh ghuncha san apne dahan mein
bandhi mutthi chala ja is chaman mein

na khol ai yar mera gor mein munh
ki hasrat hai meri jaga kafan mein

rakha kar hath dil par aah karte
nahin rahta charagh aisi pawan mein

jale dil ki musibat apne sun kar
lagi hai aag sare tan badan mein

na tujh bin hosh mein hum aae saqi
musafir hi rahe aksar watan mein

khirad-mandi hui zanjir warna
guzarti khub thi diwana-pan mein

kahan ke sham-o-parwane gae mar
bahut aatash-bajaan the is chaman mein

kahan aajiz-sukhan qadir-sukhan hun
hamein hai shubh yaron ke sukhan mein

gudaz ishq mein ba bhi gaya 'mir'
yahi dhoka sa hai ab pairahan mein
