manind-e-shama majalis-e-shab ashkbar paya
al qissa 'Mir ko hamne beikhtiyar paya

shahr-e-dil ek muddat ujra basa gamon main
akhir ujar dena uska qarar paya

itna na dil se milte na dil ko kho k rahte
jaisa kiya tha hamne waisa hi yar paya

kya aitabar yan ka phir us ko khwar dekha
jisne jahan main akar kuch aitabar paya

ahon k shole jis jan uthe hain 'Mir' se shab
wan ja k subah dekha musht-e-gubar paya
