ah-e-sahar ne sozish-e-dil ko mita diya
us baav ne hamen to diya sa bujha diya
samjhi na baad subh ki aa kar utha diya
is fitna-e-zamana ko nahaq jaga diya
poshida raz-e-ishq chala jaae tha sau aaj
be-taqati ne dil ki vo parda utha diya
us mauj-khez dahr men ham ko qaza ne aah
paani ke bulbule ki tarah se mita diya
thi laag us ki tegh ko ham se sau ishq ne
donon ko maarke men gale se mila diya
sab shor-e-ma-o-man ko liye sar men mar gae
yaron ko is fasane ne akhir sula diya
avargan-e-ishq ka puchha jo men nishan
musht-e-ghubar le ke saba ne uda diya
ajza badan ke jitne the paani ho bah gae
akhir gudaz ishq ne ham ko baha diya
kya kuchh na tha azal men na taala jo the durust
ham ko dil-shikasta qaza ne dila diya
goya muhasba mujhe dena tha ishq ka
us taur dil si chiiz ko main ne laga diya
muddat rahegi yaad tire chehre ki jhalak
jalve ko jis ne maah ke ji se bhula diya
ham ne to sadgi se kya ji ka bhi ziyan
dil jo diya tha so to diya sar juda diya
boi kabab sokhta aai dimagh men
shayad jigar bhi atish-e-gham ne jila diya
taklif dard-e-dil ki abas ham-nashin ne ki
dard-e-sukhan ne mere sabhon ko rula diya
un ne to tegh khinchi thi par ji chala ke ‘mir’
ham ne bhi ek dam men tamasha dikha diya
