jo gham mein jalte rahe umr-bhar diya ban kar
bujha gai hai unhen maut ab hawa ban kar

wo khamushi jo teri bazm ne hamein bakhshi
khala-e-zehn mein gunji hai ek sada ban kar

jo tu ne mujh ko gham-e-la-zawal bakhsha tha
wo zindagi mein raha mera rahnuma ban kar

wo jin ke lams se tu khil ke phul banta tha
wo ab bhatakte hain dar par tere saba ban kar

jab un ki bazm se laute to khud ko pahchana
wahan se aae hum 'azad' kya se kya ban kar
