jitne marka-e-dil wo lagatar gaya

jitne marka-e-dil wo lagatar gaya
jis ghadi fath ka e'lan hua haar gaya
thak ke laut aae alam-dar-e-masawat aakhir
dur tak silsila-e-andak-o-bisyar gaya


jis ko sab sahl-talab jaan ke karte the gurez
ek wahi shakhs su-e-manzil-e-dushwar gaya
in dinon zehn ki duniya mein hai masruf bashar
dil ki tahzib gai dard ka bewhaar gaya


hum gunahgaron se ba-mani raha hashr ka din
warna ye sara hi mansuba tha bekar gaya
'saz' hai dil-zada ab bhi tere she'ron ke tufail
hum to samjhe the ki ai mir ye aazar gaya
