us sitamgar se aashnai ki
umr bhar jis ne bewafai ki

hanste hanste hi todna dil ka
ek ada hai ye dilrubai ki

main ki khamosh ishq ka talib
un ko aadat hai khud-numai ki

dard-o-gham aur karb ka aalam
hae kya raat thi judai ki

un ka didar garche mushkil tha
jurat-e-shauq ne rasai ki

na chala gard-e-karwan tak main
intiha hai shikasta-pai ki

jab asiri mein qurb ho un ka
kaun khwahish kare rihai ki

ranj-o-gham mein bhi mutmain rakhna
ye to hai shan kibriyai ki

gham ki tarik wadiyon mein 'azim'
dil ke zakhmon ne rahnumai ki
