muddaton tak jo padhaya kiya ustad mujhe
ishq mein bhul gaya kuchh na raha yaad mujhe

kya main diwana hun ya-rab ki sar-e-rahguzar
dur se ghurne lagte hain pari-zad mujhe

ab hai aawaz ki wo shan na bazu ki udan
aur sayyaad kiye deta hai aazad mujhe

dad-khwahi ke liye aur to saman na mila
nala-o-ah pe rakhni padi buniyaad mujhe

mere sheron pe wo sharmae to ahbab hanse
ai 'hafiz' aaj ghazal ki ye mili dad mujhe
