auj-e-kamal-e-sher hai hamd-o-sana-giri
mujh ko sikha gai hai yahi kuchh sukhanwari

is daur-e-fitna-gar mein meri ek baat sun
sab kuchh hai sulh hech hai ye jang-o-dawari

lashkar ki fikr taj ka sauda hai shah ko
darwesh sirf talib-e-kunj-e-qalandari

rukh par jo hai ghubar-e-qanaat ise na dho
behtar nahin hai is se koi kimiya-gari

bazar-e-jaan mein shaukat-e-shahan ka zikr kya
darbar mein to shart hai izhaar-e-chaakari

ai dost ek nukta bataun tujhe ki hai
iqrar-e-bandagi mein nihan raaz-e-sarwari

'azad' ashk-ha-e-farawan ki qadr kar
ashkon ke nam se hai teri kisht-e-sukhanwari
