dil hamara hai ki hum mail-e-fariyaad nahin
warna kya zulm nahin kaun si bedad nahin

husn ek shan-e-ilahi hai magar ai be-mehr
bewafai to koi husn-e-khuda-dad nahin

sar-e-turbat wo khamoshi pe meri kahte hain
marne wale tujhe paiman-e-wafa yaad nahin

husn-e-arasta qudrat ka atiyya hai magar
kya mera ishq-e-jigar-soz khuda-dad nahin

lakh paband-e-alaeq na rahe koi yahan
tab-e-warasta magar fikr se aazad nahin

baham aain-e-wafa rasm-e-mohabbat kaisi
waqt ab wo hai ki bandon ko khuda yaad nahin

chashm-e-makhmur wo hai kabil-e-gharq-e-mai-e-nab
daftar-e-ishq pe jab tak ki mere sad nahin

puchhte kya ho tabahi ka fasana mujh se
dil-e-barbaad ki surat bhi mujhe yaad nahin

zarre zarre mein hai ek aalam-e-mani pinhan
khak-e-barbaad ko samjhe ho ki aabaad nahin

aap kahte hain ki hai gor-e-ghariban viran
aisi basti to jahan mein koi aabaad nahin

aansuon ko bhi zara dekh le rone wale
in sitaron mein to duniya koi aabaad nahin

husn-e-khud main ne kiye aaine ke sau tukde
ab na kahna ki nigahen sitam-ijad nahin

kab khayalat pe mumkin hai kisi ka pahra
dil to aazad raha main agar aazad nahin

sina-kawi ke liye shart hai dil ki himmat
nakhun-e-dast-e-junun tesha-e-farhad nahin

be-khudi manzil-e-irfan hai zara hosh mein aa
hai khudi ka ye natija ki khuda yaad nahin

tabqa-e-khak mein hai aalam-e-khaosh-abaad
jis ko barbaad samajhte ho wo barbaad nahin

dil-e-viran ki tabahi ki koi had hai 'aziz'
main samajhta hun ki duniya abhi aabaad nahin
