a jayen ham nazar jo koi dam bahut hai yan
mohlat basan-e-barq-o-sharar kam bahut hai yan

yak lahza sina kobi se fursat hamein nahin
yani ki dil ke jane ka matam bahut hai yan

ham rah rawan-e-rah-e-fana der rah chuke
waqfa basan-e-subh koi dam bahut hai yan

hasil hai kya siwaye tarai ke dahar mein
uth asman tale se ke shabnam bahut hai yan

is butkade mein mani ka kis se karen sawal
adam nahin surat-e-adam bahur hai yan

ajaz-e-isawi se nahin bahs ishq mein
teri hi bat jan-e-mujassim bahut hai yan

mere hilak karne ka gam hai abas tumhen
tum shad zindagani karo gam bahut hai yan

shayad ke kam subh tak apana khinchena 'Mir'
ahawal aj sham se darham bahut hai yan
