na hote rind gar saqi to maikhane kahan jate
surahi kis ke ghar jati ye paimane kahan jate

pata manzil ka milta hai to diwanon se milta hai
na hote gar ye diwane to farzane kahan jate

tumhaare aariz-e-taban harif-e-shama-e-mahfil hain
na aate khich ke parwane khuda jaane kahan jate

mere mamnun hain dasht-o-bayaban ek muddat se
chaman mein gar bahal jata to virane kahan jate

tumhaari zulf ke kham halqa-e-zanjir-e-zindan hain
na aate dam-e-gesu mein to diwane kahan jate

pata dil ka hamare aap ko malum tha warna
nazar ke tir le kar shauq farmane kahan jate

budhape mein jawani ka zamana yaad aata hai
magar 'azad' wo lamhat phir lane kahan jate
