jhilmilate hue aansu bhi ajab hote hain
sham-e-furqat ke ye jugnu bhi ajab hote hain

ye ada husn ki hum kyun nazar-andaz karen
us ke bikhre hue gesu bhi ajab hote hain

qatl ho koi to kanp uthti hai sari duniya
dard-e-insan ke ye pahlu bhi ajab hote hain

kis ko git apne sunate hain wahan kya kahiye
naghma-khwanan-e-lab-e-ju bhi ajab hote hain

is kharabi se to mamur hai sara aalam
ye fasadat-e-man-o-tu bhi ajab hote hain

walwale dil ke na malum kidhar le jaen
kashti-e-dil ke ye chappu bhi ajab hote hain

bhaiyon ke sitam o jaur ko kya tum se kahun
'ramz' ye quwwat-e-bazu bhi ajab hote hain
