dil kushta-e-nazar hai mahrum-e-guftugu hun
samjho mere ishaare main surma-dar-gulu hun

muddat se kho gaya hun sargarm-e-justuju hun
apna hi muddaa hun apni hi aarzu hun

surat-e-sawal hun main puchho na mera matlab
main apne muddaa ki taswir hu-ba-hu hun

hai dil mein josh-e-hasrat rukte nahin hain aansu
risti hui surahi tuta hua subu hun

zakhmon se dil ka aalam kya puchhte ho kya hai
gulzar-e-be-khizan hun duniya-e-rang-o-bu hun

jalwe hijab-afgan aankhen halak-hasrat
to mahw-e-parda-dari mein waqf-e-justuju hun

pamal yun hua hun pinhan hai mujh mein aalam
ek musht-e-khak ho kar sahra-e-arzu hun

rukh se kafan hata do kya puchhte hain puchhen
parde mein khamushi ke sargarm-e-guftugu hun

kis se 'aziz' rakkhun ummid dosti ki
sarkash hai nafs jab tak apna hi main adu hun
