kyun asir-e-gesu-e-kham-dar-e-qatil ho gaya
hae kya baithe-bithae tujh ko ai dil ho gaya

koi nalan koi giryan koi bismil ho gaya
us ke uthte hi digar-gun rang-e-mahfil ho gaya

intizar us gul ka is darja kya gulzar mein
nur aakhir dida-e-nargis ka zail ho gaya

us ne talwaren lagain aise kuchh andaz se
dil ka har arman fida-e-dast-e-qatil ho gaya

qais-e-majnun ka tasawwur badh gaya jab najd mein
har bagula dasht ka laila-e-mahmil ho gaya

ye bhi qaidi ho gaya aakhir kamand-e-zulf ka
le asiron mein tere 'azad' shamil ho gaya
