jahan na dil ko sukun hai na hai qarar mujhe
ye kis maqam pe le aai yaad-e-yar mujhe

ye baat sach hai main barg-e-khizan-rasida hun
magar salam kiya karti hai bahaar mujhe

sitam ye hai wo kabhi bhul kar nahin aaya
tamam umr raha jis ka intizar mujhe

bas apne-ap sanwarna bhi koi baat hui
tu apni zulf ki surat kabhi sanwar mujhe

abas hai dosto tashrih-e-wada-e-farda
ab is ka zikr bhi hota hai nagawar mujhe

tamam umr jhulasta raha main sahra mein
kahin shajar nazar aaya na saya-dar mujhe

bahaar-e-nau ye haqiqat hai ya fareb-e-nigah
libas-e-gul nazar aata hai tar tar mujhe

gunah jis se na sarzad hua ho ai 'ajiz'
usi ko haq hai wo kah de gunahgar mujhe
