mere ghar mein tu jo ai nur-e-nazar paida hua
khush-nasibi hai teri shair ke ghar paida hua

teri bahnen aur bhai sab ke sab hain na-bakar
ek lashkar go ki tujh se peshtar paida hua

zauq-e-sher-o-shairi bilkul kisi mein bhi nahin
in mein se har ek bas jaise sifar paida hua

bap ke naqsh-e-qadam par tu chalega hai yaqin
mere jaisa dida-war bar-e-digar paida hua

log teri shairi sun kar kahenge barmala
'mir' phir paida hua hai phir 'jigar' paida hua

chahte to the mere aghyar tu paida na ho
phir bhi ye himmat hai teri tu agar paida hua

main bada hairan tha aur sochta tha bar bar
kis tarah ye sahab-e-ilm-o-hunar paida hua

aakhirash uqda ye khola man ne teri ek din
kya jatan karne pe ye jaan-e-pidar paida hua

pi gai thi ghol kar 'azad' ki aab-e-hayat
tab kahin ghar mein mere tujh sa pisar paida hua
