hairat se dekhta hai mera naqsh-e-pa mujhe
yaran-e-tez-gam ye kya ho gaya mujhe

khud mere dil mein shauq-e-safar hi nahin raha
ab lakh bhejen manzilen apna pata mujhe

samjha tha bas hayat ko khwabon ki jalwa-gah
ek dil ka dagh kar gaya khud-ashna mujhe

pala hai apni god mein tufan ne tujhe
ai mauj us ki koi jhalak tu dikha mujhe

ye kaun si khalish nikal aai nai nai
lagta hai aaj dard-e-jigar kuchh siwa mujhe

'azhar' mere harif the kuchh gham-zada magar
the yar khush ki dekh liya dubta mujhe
