sauda-e-ishq-e-kham to har ek bashar mein hai
majnun sa zabt-o-josh-o-junun kis ke sar mein hai

ek main hi madah-go nahin sarkar aap ka
charcha tumhaare husn ka har ek ghar mein hai

allah re nur-e-mushaf-e-rukhsar ki damak
ye tab ye chamak kahan lal-o-guhar mein hai

ghayal kiye hazar to lakhon jala diye
kya baat un ki nigah-e-jadu-asar mein hai

nahaq hi koste ho jo rindon ko shaikh ji
dekha bhi rashk-e-hur koi umr bhar mein hai

khanjar chhupa liye hain jo mizhgan ki aad mein
hum par ayan hai sab jo tumhaari nazar mein hai

bismil hue raqib to hum tilmila uthe
sare jahan ka dard hamare jigar mein hai

khana-kharab-e-ishq ne duniya se kho diya
is par bhi aaj tak wahi khafaqan sar mein hai

'azam' baja hai sim-tanon ka ghurur-e-husn
qudrat hai un ki baat mein jadu nazar mein hai
