na sochaa na samajha na siikhaa na jaana
mujhe aa gayaa Khud_ba_Khud dil lagaanaa

zaraa dekh kar apanaa jalwaa dikhaana
simaT kar yahiin aa na jaaye zamaanaa

zubaaN par lagii hain wafaaon ki muhare.n
Khamoshii merii kah rahii hai fasanaa

gulon tak lagaayii to aasaaN hai lekin
hai dushwaar kaaNTon se daaman bachaanaa

karo laakh tum maatam-e-naujavaanii
par 'mir' ab nahiin aayegaa woh zamaanaa
