     02/1722-21 -21/09/1810
Mir muhammad taqi known us Mir Taqi Mir was born on february 1722 in Agra,Oudh State,Mughal India.
 Mir was known as a great and a representative of Delhi School of Urdu poetry.In Agra, when the father of Mir died, he moved to Delhi in order to complete his education and also gain financial patronage. It was his time in Delhi in which he wrote most of his masterpieces and major compilation. As far as the literary career of Mir is concerned, his complete work is known as Kulliaat, which contains six Diwans, that have over thirteen thousand verses. These verses are in almost all the poetic forms in Urdu such as satire, mustezaad, qasidad, rubai, masnav, ghazal and so on. However, it is the Ghazal of Urdu for which Mir is most known in Urdu literature.
Some scholars consider two of Mir's masnavis (long narrative poems rhymed in couplets), Mu'amlat-e-ishq  and Khwab o khyal-e Mir.
Mir migrated to Lucknow in 1782 and remained there for the remainder of his life.
In his last years Mir was very isolated. His health failed, and the untimely deaths of his daughter, son and wife caused him great distress.

He died, of a purgative overdose, on Friday, 21 September 1810.[1] The marker of his burial place was removed in modern times when a railway was built over his grave

Faqiraana Aae Sadaa Kar Chale

Faqiraana Aae Sadaa

Faqiraana Aae Sadaa Kar Chale
Miyaan Khush Raho Ham Dua Kar Chale

Jo Tujh Bin Na Jeene Ko Kahte The Ham 
So Is Ahd Ko Ab Wafa Kar Chale

Koi Naumidana Karte Nigah
So Tum Ham Se Munh Bhi Chhipa Kar Chale

Bahut Aarzoo Thi Gali Ki Teri 
So Yaan Se Lahu Mein Naha Kar Chale

Dikhai Diye Yun Ke Bekhud Kiya 
Hamen Aap Se Bhi Juda Kar Chale

Jabin Sijda Karte Hi Karte Gayi 
Haq-E-Bandgi Ham Ada Kar Chale

Prastash Ki Yaan Taeen Ke Ai But Tujhe
Nazr Mein Sabhon Ki Khuda Kar Chale

Gayi Umr Dar Band-E-Fikr-E-Ghazal
So Is Fan Ko Aisa Bara Kar Chale

Kahen Kya Jo Puchhe Koi Ham Se Mir
Jahaan Mein Tum Ae The Kya Kar Chale

Tum Nahi Fitana-Saz Sach Sahab

Tum Nahi firana-saz

Tum Nahi Fitana-Saz Sach Sahab

Shahar Pur-Shor is Gulam Se Hai

Koi Tujh Sa Bhi Kash Tujh Ko Mile

Mudda Hum Ko Intaqam Se Hai

Sher Mere Hain Sab Khvas Pasand

Par Mujhe Guftagu Awam Se Hai

Sahal Hai ‘Meer’ Ka Samajhana Kya

Har Sukhan Usaka Ik Maqam Se Hai

Kya Kahun Tum Se Main Ke Kya Hai Ishq

Kya kahu tum se main

Kya Kahun Tum Se Main Ke Kya Hai Ishq
Jaan Ka Rog Hai Bala Hai Ishq

Ishq Hi Ishq Hai Jahaan Dekho
Saare Aalam Mein Bhar Raha Hai Ishq

Ishq Maashuq Ishq Aashiq Hai
Yaani Apna Hi Mubtala Hai Ishq

Ishq Hai Tarz-O-Taur Ishq Ke Taeen
Kahin Banda Kahin Khuda Hai Ishq

Kaun Maqsad Ko Ishq Bin Pohuncha
Aarzoo Ishq Wa Mudda Hai Ishq

Koi Khwaahan Nahin Mahabbat Ka
Tu Kahe Jins-E-Narawa Hai Ishq

Mir Ji Zarad Hote Jaate Hain
Kya Kahin Tum Ne Bhi Kiya Hai Ishq

Aae hain 'miir' kaafir ho kar khudaa ke ghar mein

Aae hain Mir kaafir ho

Aae hain 'miir' kaafir ho kar khudaa ke ghar mein
peshaanii par hai qashqa zunnaar hai kamar mein

nazuk bada hai kitnaa vo shokh-chashm dilbar
jaan us ke tan ke aage aati nahin nazar mein

seene main teer us ke tute hain be-nihaayat
surakh par gaye hain saare mere jigar mein

ainda shaam ko ham royaa kudhaa karenge
mutlaq asar na dekhaa naalidan-e-sahar mein

be sudh para rahu us mast-e naaz bin main
ataa hai hosh mujh ko ab to pahr pahr mein

sirat se guftuguu hai kya motabar hai surat
hai ek sukhi ladki jo buu na ho agar main

ham-saaya-e-mughaan mein muddat se huun chunaache
ik shira-khaane ki hai divaar mere ghar mein

ab subh o shaam shayad girye pe rang aave
rahtaa hai kuch jhamakta khunaab chashm-e-tar mein

aalam mein aab-o-gil ke kyun kar nibaah hogaa
asbaab gir para hai sara miraa safar mein

Agg the ibitda-e-ishq mein ham

Agg the ibitda e ishq main

Agg the ibitda-e-ishq mein ham
ab jo hain khaak intiha hai yeh
Ab to jaate hai but-kade se mir
phir milenge agar khudda laaya
chashm ho to aina-khana hai dahr
munh nazar aata hai divaron ke beech
Dikhai diye yhun ki be-khud kiya
Hamen app se bhi judda kar chale
Hamare aag tira jab kisu ne naam liya 
dil-e-sitam-zada ko ham ne thaam thaam liya
Hoga kisi divar ke saaey mein padha mir
kya kaam mohabbat se us aram-talab ko
Ishq  ik mir bhari patthar hai
kab yeh tujh na-tavan se uttha hai
jam gaya khoon kaf-e-qatil pe tira mir zi-bas
un ne roh roh diya kal haath dhote dhote
Kin neendon ab tu soti hai ai chashm-e-girya-naak
mizhgan to khol shahr ko sailab le gaya
Le saans bhi ahista ki nazuk hai bahut kaam
afaq ki is kargah-e-shishagari ka
mat sahl hamen jaano phirta hai falak barson 
tab khaak ke parde se insaan nikalte hain
Mir ham mil ke bahut khush huwe tum se pyare
is kharabe main miri jaan tum abad raho
mir ke diin-o-mazhab ko ab puchte kya ho un ne to
qashqa khincha dair mein baitha kab ka tark islam kiya
mire saliqe se meri nibhi mohabbat mein
tamam umr main nakamiyon se kaam liya
nazuki us ke lab ki kya kahiye
pankhudi ik gulab ki si hai
patta patta butha butha haal hamara jaane hai
jaane na jaane gul hi na jaane baag to saara jaane hai
raah-e-duur-e-ishq mein rota hai kya
aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya
sirhane mir ke ahista bolo 
abhi tak rote rote so gaya hai
us ke farogosh-e-husn se jhamke hai sab mein noor
sham-e-haram ho ya o diya somnat ka
Yaad us ki itni khoob nahin mir baaz aa
nadan phir vo ji se bhulaya na jayega

Ashk aankhon mein kab nahi aata
lahu aata hai jab nahi aata
hosh jata nahi raha lekin
jab wo aata hai tab nahi aata
dil se rukhasat hui koi khvahish
giriya kuch be sabab nahi aata
ishq ka hausla hai shart varna
bat ka kis ko dhab nahi aata
jee mein kya-kya hai apne ae hamdam
har sukhan ta ba-lab nahi aa
door baita gubhaar mir o se
ishq bin yeh azabb yeh ataa
ashk aankhon mein kab nahin aata
lahu aata hai jab nahi aata 
ashk aankhon mein kab nahi aata

Ashk aankhon mein kab nahi aata

Ashk aankhon mein kab
