jafa-o-makr-o-dagha ki hikayaten kaisi
isi ka nam hai duniya shikayaten kaisi

baja hain chhoton se tum ko shikayaten lekin
dikhai thin unhen tum ne riwayaten kaisi

ye pul-siraat ko pal pal ubur karna hai
hain dosti mein bhi yaro nazakaten kaisi

yahan zawabit-e-fitrat ki hai amal-dari
miyan kahan ke karishme karamaten kaisi

muamlat pe un ka asar nahin padta
hui hain ruh se aari ibaadaten kaisi

bhadak hi jaen agar koi nam bhi le le
hain ab to yaron ki hum par inayaten kaisi

na dala qaum ko manjdhaar mein to kuchh na kiya
bala-e-jaan hain 'azhar' qayaadaten kaisi
