suraj ki mizan liye ham, wo the barf ki bat liye
is haalat mein hum donon ne apne jiwan kat liye

ek hi ghar mein rahte the hum lekin donon anjaane the
jab is ka ehsas hua to apne raste pat liye

koi gahak mil jata to achchhi qimat mil jati
bich kharidaron ke the hum apne hunar ki bat liye

rajaon ka daur gaya aur sath zamin-dari bhi gai
lekin ganw ka mukhiya jita hai nawabi that liye

'azam' is wahshi duniya mein hum ne ye bhi dekha hai
khun baha jo apnon ka wo khun apnon ne chat liye
