saya tha mera aur mere shaidaiyon mein tha
ek anjuman sa wo meri tanhaiyon mein tha

chhanti thi shab ko chandni baadal ki ot se
paikar ka is ke aks sa parchhaiyon mein tha

koyal ki kuk bhi na jawab is ka ho saki
lahra tere gale ka jo shahnaiyon mein tha

jis dam meri imarat-e-dil shoala-posh thi
main ne suna ki wo bhi tamashaiyon mein tha

uttha usi se zist ke ehsas ka khamir
jo dard-e-dil ke zakhm ki pahnaiyon mein tha

jab shahr mein fasad hua to amir-e-shahr
dekha gaya ki aap hi balwaion mein tha

behad hasin tha magar 'azar' mujhe to bas
yaad is qadar raha ki wo harjaiyon mein tha
