meri diwangi ko apni zulfon mein chhupa baithe
tamasha dekhne wale tamasha kyon dikha baithe

ba-juz in chaar ashkon ke hamare pas tha hi kya
usi daulat ke malik the usi ko hum luta baithe

meri jaanib se pahle hi bhare baithe the ghusse mein
tumhaare hath kya aaya lagi mein kyon laga baithe

ab us ka jaisa ji chahe bhala mane bura mane
hue majbur is dil se to hum bhi dar pe aa baithe

koi waqif na tha 'ejaz' is dil ke ta'alluq se
haqiqat khul gai aakhir jo wo parde mein ja baithe

ajab aalam tha ai 'ejaz' rindon ki masarrat ka
mere hathon mein jam aaya to mai-khana luta baithe
