nalon se mere kab tah-o-baala jahan nahin
kab aasman zamin o zamin aasman nahin

aankhon se dekh kar tujhe sab manna pada
kahte the jo hamesha chunin hai chunan nahin

us bazm mein nahin koi aagah-e-dard kab
wan khanda zer-e-lab idhar ashk-e-nihan nahin

afsurda-dil na ho dar-e-rahmat nahin hai band
kis din khula hua dar-e-pir-e-mughan nahin

lab band hon to rauzan-e-sina ko kya karun
thamta to mujh se nala-e-atish-inan nahin

milna tera ye ghair se ho bahr-e-maslahat
hum ko to sadgi se teri ye guman nahin

ai dil tamam nafa hai sauda-e-ishq mein
ek jaan ka ziyan hai so aisa ziyan nahin

be-waqt aae dair mein kya shorishen karen
hum pir o pir-e-mai-kada bhi naujawan nahin

katti kisi tarah se nahin ye shab-e-firaq
shayad ki gardish aaj tujhe aasman nahin

'azurda' hont tak na hile us ke ru-ba-ru
mana ki aap sa koi jadu-bayan nahin
