main dil mein un ki yaad ke tufan ko pal kar
laya hun ek mauj-e-taghazzul nikal kar

paimana-e-tarab mein kahin baal aa gaya
main garche pi raha tha bahut hi sambhaal kar

mahfil jami hui hai teri rah mein koi
ai gardish-e-zamana bas itna khayal kar

aazad jins-e-dil ko faqat ek nazar pe bech
sauda giran nahin na bahut qil-o-qal kar

khat ke jawab mein na laga itni der tu
mera agar nahin hai to apna khayal kar

kyun main ne dil diya hai kise main ne dil diya
ai aql aaj mujh se na itne sawal kar

ai dil ye rah-e-ishq hai rah-e-khirad nahin
is par qadam badha tu zara dekh bhaal kar

phir ishq bazm-e-husn ki jaanib rawan hai aaj
diwangi ko aql ke sanche mein dhaal kar

'azad' phir dakan ka samundar hai aur tu
le ja dil o nazar ka safina sambhaal kar
