girah jo kaam mein dale hai panja-e-taqdir
majal kya ki khule wo ba-nakhun-e-tadbir

dila tadaph ke tu nikla pade hai sine se
ye ghar ujad na ai ghar base pakad tuk dhir

shab-e-firaq mein jaanan ki main raha jita
ki sakht-jaan hai mujh ko hijab daman-gir

lab us ke dekho to hai zulm-o-khun khuri ki dalil
siyah misi pe nahin surkh pan ki tahrir

ye phenk tir-e-nigah ji se mar dalen hain
batao kar sake be-jaan sitam ki kya taqrir

tuk aankh utha ke jo dekha nazar se de patka
na thi ye 'azfari' itni gunah ki tazir
