gham-e-wafa ko pas-e-pusht dalna hoga
khatak raha hai jo kanta nikalna hoga

faqir-e-ishq hun kuchh de ke talna hoga
bas ek nigah ka sikka uchhaalna hoga

sawal dosto azmat ka hai saron ka nahin
hamein waqar ka parcham sambhaalna hoga

ghazab ki pyas lagi samna sarab ka hai
so reg-e-sahra se pani nikalna hoga

use batao ki faqa hai aaj apna bhi
magar faqir ko izzat se talna hoga

ye intizar salamat rahe wo aaega
magar hai shart ki dil ko sambhaalna hoga

tumhaare dil ki zamin jal chuki magar 'aijaz'
isi se nakhl-e-mohabbat nikalna hoga
