kar chuke barbaad dil ko fikr kya anjam ki
ab hamein de do ye mitti hai hamare kaam ki

dub de de baada-e-gul-rang mein zahid agar
dekhiye ranginiyan phir jama-e-ehram ki

aks-e-abru dekhte hain baada-e-sar-josh mein
id hai saqi-paraston mein hilal-e-jam ki

ibtida-e-ishq hai aur bujh raha hai dil mera
ho chali dhimi abhi se lau charagh-e-sham ki

aankh mein aansu hain mathe par araq hai maut ka
le khabar umr-e-rawan apne chhalakte jam ki

ho gai bazicha-e-atfal be-zauq-o-shuur
shairi jo thi muradif mani-e-ilham ki

pukhtagi samjhe hue hain jo tanasub ko faqat
chahiye islah un ko is khayal-e-kham ki

hai ye nazuk fan jo shayan-e-tahi-maghzi nahin
daur-e-majlis mein zarurat kya hai khali jam ki

hai 'aziz' aaina-e-lafzi muraatun-nazir
husn-e-mani jab nahin phir shairi kis kaam ki
