maujon mein talatum hai sahil pe bhi tufan hai
ab apne safine ka allah nigahban hai

har chand muhit-e-dil tariki-e-hijran hai
shoala teri yaadon ka sine mein farozan hai

dekha hi nahin tum ne kya rang-e-bahaaran hai
surkhi hai jo phulon par wo khun-e-shahidan hai

takhrib ke parde mein tamir bhi pinhan hai
tarik fazaon mein ek shama farozan hai

kya gham jo andhera hai duniya ki fazaon mein
jo dagh-e-tamanna hai khurshid-e-darakhshan hai

khulte nahin lab mere ehsas-e-hamiyyat se
marta hun ki haal-e-dil chehre se numayan hai

khwabon ke darichon se jhanka hai bahaaron ne
ab daman-e-sahra bhi daman-e-gulistan hai

mumkin hai saba khushbu sahra mein uda lae
har-chand ghataon ka rukh su-e-gulistan hai

kya khauf tujhe aakhir ai rah-raw-e-hasti
kahte hain ajal jis ko hasti ki nigahban hai

chhaegi khushi ek din gham-khana-e-hasti par
gham to meri duniya mein kuchh der ka mehman hai

ab aap ki marzi hai jo chahen hamein samjhen
dil aap ka shaida hai dil aap pe nazan hai

taswir teri ab tak phirti hai nigahon mein
har yaad teri ab tak nazdik-e-rag-e-jaan hai

uth kar tere kuche se ab jae kahan 'azmat'
duniya bhi bayaban hai uqba bhi bayaban hai
