un ko gham ki khabar na ho jae
muddaa be-asar na ho jae

han sanbhal kar naqab rukh se ulat
dekh zakhmi nazar na ho jae

aariz-e-rukh ki shoala-samani
rashk-e-shams-o-qamar na ho jae

phir wo nikle hain aaj saj-dhaj kar
nazm-e-alam digar na ho jae

ro pade sun ke dastan-e-hayat
ishq phir mo'atabar na ho jae

wo tahalte hain sehn-e-gulshan mein
raqs-e-barq-o-sharar na ho jae

tu jidhar aaj ja raha hai dost
wo meri rahguzar na ho jae

azm-e-rah-e-mazar-e-bulbul par
pursish-e-baal-o-par na ho jae

khud-satai kahin 'azim' apni
be-niyaz-e-asar na ho jae
