zindagi ka har ek gham uthate hue
main sanbhalne laga ladkhadate hue

lakh hum ne chhupaya magar kya kahe
ashk jari hue gham chhupate hue

main ne dekha hai chhat par unhen raat ko
'mir' ki ek ghazal gungunate hue

ranj-o-gham mein giraftar tha is qadar
ro pada haal apna sunate hue

hath us ke larazne lage the bahut
jam-e-ulfat mujhe kal pilate hue
