Mujhko nahin malum ki wo kaun hai kya hai

mujh ko nahin malum ki wo kaun hai kya hai
jo sae ke manind mere sath laga hai

ek aur bhi hai jism mere jism ke andar
ek aur bhi chehra mere chehre mein chhupa hai

mahtab to aaega na siDhi se utar kar
diwana kis ummid pe raste mein khaDa hai

milne ki tamanna hai magar us se milen kya
jis shaKHs ka is shahr mein ghar hai na pata hai

likhta hun nai nazm-o-ghazal jis ke sabab main
wo zauq-e-suKHan to mujhe wirse mein mila hai

maidan mein chale aao to khul jae ye tum par
kya sham ki sarshaar hawaon mein maza hai

socha tha mere sath chalega jo safar mein
ghar par wo mera KHwab-e-hasin chhuT gaya hai

hum 'mir' ka diwan the kya fahm pe khulte
aKHbar samajh kar hamein logon ne paDha hai

kahte hain ki us shahr mein hai dhum hamari
dekha hai kisi ne na jahan hum ko suna hai

bahar se koi aaj to 'KHawar' ko pukare
kamre mein bahut roz se wo band paDa hai
