diwar ke hue to kabhi dar ke ho gae
mere charagh baad-e-sitamgar ke ho gae

main is tarah se kucha-e-wahshat ki ho gai
mallah jis tarah se samundar ke ho gae

us ke dil-o-nigah ka kis se karen gila
us ke dil-o-nigah to patthar ke ho gae

jo mujh ko chahte the kabhi sar se panw tak
dushman na jaane kyun wo mere sar ke ho gae

jo tere pairahan ki mahak le ke aai thi
hum to usi hawa-e-moattar ke ho gae

main teri khushbuon ki talabgar jab hui
tere chaman ke phul bhi patthar ke ho gae

ye kaisi gardishen hain ki arz-o-sama pe aaj
shams-o-qamar charagh barabar ke ho gae

kheme jale charagh bujhe aur is ke baad
nezon pe sar-buland bahattar ke ho gae

barish ko baadalon ko samundar ko chhod kar
'afroz' hum to saqi-e-kausar ke ho gae
