ajab fareb sa wo us ka muskurana tha
use to jaise faqat mujh ko aazmana tha

ghazab ki baat ki tum ko bhi is zamane mein
mera hi ghar tha jahan bijliyan girana tha

use jahan mein koi dusra adu na mila
nazar mein us ki faqat main hi ek nishana tha

jo soz-e-gham se mujhe har-nafas bachata raha
khayal-e-yar ki palkon ka shamiyana tha

tu dil ka sada tha 'azim' tujhe pata na chala
ki dil lagana yahan sirf dil jalana tha
