jafa dekhni thi sitam dekhna tha
nasibon mein ranj-o-alam dekhna tha

wo aate na aate shab-e-wada lekin
mujhe de ke sar ki qasam dekhna tha

khajalat hui us ke kuche mein kya kya
mujhe pahle naqsh-e-qadam dekhna tha

mujhe dekhni teri himmat thi saqi
bahut dekhna tha na kam dekhna tha

kati sham-e-furqat 'aziz' aah kyun-kar
zara aaina subh-dam dekhna tha
