maraz-e-ishq se achchha nahin insan hota
ye wahi dard hai jis ka nahin darman hota

dil-e-wahshat-zada kyon zulf ka khwahan hota
ek to tha hi sidi aur pareshan hota

ai falak kya hua gar hans liye do ek ghadi
hum to jab jaante pura koi arman hota

aur kuchh rozon jo minnat ki na badhti bedi
tere diwanon se mamur bayaban hota

ye na samjhe shab-e-wada hai qayamat hogi
kya jab aate ki yahan dafn ka saman hota

sahar-e-hijr janaza hi nikalta ghar se
main musibat ka na khugar jo meri jaan hota

zulm kaisa hi pas-e-marg wo karte lekin
lash hoti meri aur kucha-e-jaanan hota

mushaf-e-rukh mein usi ke ye sifat hai wallah
do waraq ka bhi hai aaya kahin quran hota

aaj-kal ghair se hai tujh ko jo ai zulm-pasand
kash wo rishta-e-ulfat tera paiman hota

is girani pe to majma hai ye diwanon ka
qahr tha zulf ka sauda agar arzan hota

war bas ek hi sine pe lagaya ai gul
itne charke to lagata ki gulistan hota

'bazm' maddah bhi hai aap ka aur zakir bhi
rahm kyon is pe nahin ai shah-e-mardan hota
