Ek parwaz ko bhi ruKHsat-e-sayyaad nahin

ek parwaz ko bhi ruKHsat-e-sayyaad nahin
warna ye kunj-e-qafas baiza-e-faulad nahin

shaiKH-e-uzlat to tah-e-KHak bhi pahunchegi baham
muft hai sair ki ye aalam-e-ijad nahin

dad le chhoDun main sayyaad se apni lekin
zoaf se mere tain taqat-e-faryaad nahin

kyun hi mazur bhi rakh yun to samajh dil mein shaiKH
ye qadah-KHwar mere qabil-e-irshad nahin

be-sutun bhi hai wahi aur wahi ju-e-shir
tha namak shohrat-e-shirin ka so farhad nahin

kya kahun 'mir' faramosh kiya un ne tujhe
main to taqrib bhi ki par tu use yaad nahin
