Main Gharq Wahan Pyas Ke Paikar Ki Tarah Tha

main gharq wahan pyas ke paikar ki tarah tha

har qatra jahan ek samundar ki tarah tha

ghar sare shikasta the guzar-gahen andheri

kuchh shahr mera mere muqaddar ki tarah tha

aaj us ka jahan mein koi pursan hi nahin hai

kal tak jo zamane mein sikandar ki tarah tha

tha is ke muqaddar mein likha Dubna Duba

haalanki wo dariya mein shanawar ki tarah tha

kya meri haqiqat thi gulistan mein na puchho

main tha magar ek tair-e-be-par ki tarah tha

jab shahr mein patthar hi ki thi umr ganwai

duniya mein tujhe jina bhi aazar ki tarah tha

dil ke bhi zamane mein badalte rahe andaz

dariya ki tarah tha kabhi patthar ki tarah tha

duniya-e-adab mein sabhi kahte hain jise 'mir'

ek lafz-o-maani ke samundar ki tarah tha

ras aai 'guhar' KHub mujhe dasht-nawardi

har aabla-e-pa mera gauhar ki tarah tha
