ab jo ik hasrat-e-jawani hai
umr-e-rafta ki ye nishani hai
khak thi maujzan jahan mein, aur
ham ko dhoka ye tha k pani hai
giriya har waqt ka nahin behech
dil mein koi gam-e-nihani hai
ham qafas zad qaidi hain warna
ta chaman parfashani hai
yan huye 'Mir' ham barabar-e-khak
wan wahi naz-o-sargirani hai
