ab har ek khair mein maujud hai shar ki surat
bais-e-fakhr hua aib hunar ki surat

milti-julti hai khandar se mere ghar ki surat
chhat hai angnai si diwar hai dar ki surat

zindagi khatm hui aur ye hasrat hi rahi
dil ki qimat bhi lagata koi sar ki surat

rah takte hain ki guzrega idhar se koi
aur aankhen hain ki hain sham-e-sahar ki surat

tum meri zat se mayus na hona hargiz
main dabi rakh se ubhrunga sharar ki surat

hijr mein hum pe jo guzre hai bayan se hai baid
kash ye ho ki udhar bhi ho idhar ki surat

hum to is darja mohazzab bhi na the ai 'afzal'
aise nikle the ki phir dekhi na ghar ki surat
