ab tir-e-sitam dil pe jo chal jae to achchha
hasrat mere qatil ki nikal jae to achchha

aana hai to aa jao ki phir hum na milenge
kuchh din dil-e-diwana sanbhal jae to achchha

hai maut to bar-haq magar us shokh ki khatir
kuchh din ke liye aur jo tal jae to achchha

pine do mujhe aaj mera hath na roko
ye jaan ab is tan se nikal jae to achchha

ab us ke sitam hon ki karam yaad na kije
ye hijr ki shab hai yunhi tal jae to achchha

saqi se hamein koi shikayat nahin lekin
maikhane ka dastur badal jae to achchha

ek umr 'ayaz' us ki tamanna mein kati hai
ab rang-e-tabiat jo badal jae to achchha
