nale dam lete nahin ya-rab fughan rukti nahin
go qafas mein band hun lekin zaban rukti nahin

dar raha hun tut jaengi qafas ki tiliyan
kya musibat hai hawa-e-bostan rukti nahin

didani hain mulzim-e-hasti ki tufan-kheziyan
dubne se kashti-e-umr-e-rawan rukti nahin

ud ke hum pahunchenge manzil par hawa-e-shauq mein
karwan ruk jae gard-e-karwan rukti nahin

diqqaten hael hain fann-e-sher mein lekin 'aziz'
ek aandhi hai meri tab-e-rawan rukti nahin
