hum ko to be-sawal mile be-talab mile
hum wo nahin hain saqi ki jab mangen tab mile

fariyaad hi mein ahd-e-bahaaran guzar gaya
aise khule ki phir na kabhi lab se lab mile

hum ye samajh rahe the hamin bad-nasib hain
dekha to mai-kade mein bahut tishna-lab mile

kis ne wafa ka hum ko wafa se diya jawab
is raste mein lutne wale hi sab mile

milte hain sab kisi na kisi muddaa ke sath
arman hi raha ki koi be-sabab mile

rakkha kahan hai ishq ne 'ajiz' ko hosh mein
mat chhediyo agar kahin wo be-adab mile
