mujh sa bhi koi ishq mein hai bad-guman nahin
kya rashk dekh kar mujhe rang-e-khizan nahin

aankhon se dekh kar tujhe sab manna pada
kahte the jo hamesha chunen hai chunan nahin

uth kar sahar ko sajda-e-mastana ke siwa
taat qubul khatir-e-pir-e-mughan nahin

afsurda dil ho dar dar-e-rahmat nahin hai band
kis din khula hua dar-e-pir-e-mughan nahin

ai jazb-e-shauq rahm ki madd-e-nazar hai yar
ja sakti wan talak nigah-e-na-tawan nahin

shab us ko haal-e-dil ne jataya kuchh is tarah
hain lab to kya nigah bhi hui tarjuman nahin

katti kisi tarah se nahin ye shab-e-firaq
shayad ki gardish aaj tujhe aasman nahin

achchha hui nikal gai aah-e-hazin ke sath
ek qahr thi bala thi qayamat thi jaan nahin

jaane hai dil falak ka meri sakht-jaaniyan
un na-tawaniyon ko pahunchti tawan nahin

kahta hun us se kuchh main nikalta hai munh se kuchh
kahne ko yun to haigi zaban aur zaban nahin

mahka hua hai bait-e-huzan dekhna koi
aaya nasim-e-misr ka ho karwan nahin

lab band hun to rauzan-e-sina ko kya karun
thamta to mujh se nala-e-atish-inan nahin

kya kuchh na kar dikhaun par ek din ke waste
milta bhi hum ko mansab-e-haft-asman nahin

wo shakh-e-nakhl-e-khushk hun main kunj-e-bagh mein
dekhe hai bhul kar bhi jise baghban nahin

be-waqt aae dair mein kya shorishen karen
hum pir-o-pir-e-mai-kada bhi naujawan nahin

'azurda' ne padhi ghazal ek mai-kade mein kal
wo saf-tar ki sina-e-pir-e-mughan nahin
