jab tere khwab se bedar hua karte the
hum kisi ranj se do-chaar hua karte the

aaine chashm-e-tahayyur se hamein dekhte the
hum ki jab tere giraftar hua karte the

aaj malum hua teri zarurat hi na thi
hum yunhi tere talabgar hua karte the

ab to hum roz unhen panw tale raundte hain
ye hi raste the jo dushwar hua karte the

daulat-e-ishq se hum kaam chalate the miyan
bas yahi dirham-o-dinar hua karte the

barha yun bhi hua dube hue khwab mere
us ki aankhon se numudar hua karte the

aap hi aap kahani se nikalte jate
jo mere jaise adakar hua karte the

lo ki hum bojh uthate hain zamin se apna
hum kabhi is pe bahut bar hua karte the

aaj jo log kharidar hain tere 'azhar'
kal yahi mere kharidar hua karte the
