aankh se aansu tapakta jae hai
har musafir sar patakta jae hai

nazuki kya kahiye nazuk phul ki
bar-e-shabnam se lachakta jae hai

zakhm-e-dil hum ne chhupaya to magar
phul ki surat mahakta jae hai

kah raha hun main to apni dastan
kyon tumhaara dil dhadakta jae hai

jab bujhana chahta hun gham ki aag
aur bhi shoala bhadakta jae hai

lab pe naseh ke nasihat hai magar
hath mein saghar chhalakta jae hai

dida-e-maqtul mein ab kis liye
aks qatil ka jhalakta jae hai

rah mein pahle bhatakta tha 'aziz'
ab sar-e-manzil bhatakta jae hai
