aasman rutha hua roe zamin ruthi hui
ek bala uftadgan-e-ishq par utri hui

wo sitam-pesha tamalluq-khu karam-na-ashna
meri khuddari khudi ke soz mein dubi hui

zehn-o-dil us ki ada-e-dil-nawazi par nisar
aur zanjir-e-ghulami panw mein bajti hui

bakhshti hai mujh ko aadab-e-mohabbat ka shuur
aandhiyon mein ek titli phul se lipti hui

tir hai tuti kamanon se koi chhoda hua
ya kisi qatil-ada ki ek nazar udti hui

surkh patthar ki fasilen taj-mahalon ka surur
yaad-e-mazi dastan-dar-dastan phaili hui

pyas se pazhmurda jaise ek rud-e-regzar
ek nadi kohsar se nikli hui bhatki hui

laila-e-manzil talak kitne nishan kitne nuqush
raston mein ja-ba-ja khushbu teri bikhri hui

kya hasham kya khak-ru khaki hue sab zer-e-khak
ghaur kar 'bazmi' ki ye duniya bhala kis ki hui
