wafa khulus ka singar roz karti hai
yun dhire dhire meri zindagi sanwarti hai

koi hayat zamane ko hai aziz bahut
koi hayat hai ki roz roz marti hai

tere charagh ka fanus khud hawa hai aur
mere charagh se zalim hawa guzarti hai

to phir wajud-e-imarat nazar ka hai dhoka
jab int int hi tamir se mukarti hai

dua ye kijiye yaron ki hosh mein aaun
meri nigah mohabbat talash karti hai

na khud ke rahta hai insan na dusron ke qarib
koi hasin shanasai jab bikharti hai

sitamgaron ko ibaadat-guzar mat jaano
khuda ki bandagi 'azhar' khuda se darti hai
