use kyun sahar se nashat ho use kya malal ho sham se
jise ishq hai tere zikr se jise uns hai tere nam se

wo tumhaare taur-o-tariq the ki hazar rang badal liye
ye hamare dil ka shuur hai na hate hum apne maqam se

meri aarzu ke charagh par koi tabsira bhi kare to kya
kabhi jal utha sar-e-sham se kabhi bujh gaya sar-e-sham se

jo hayat-e-ishq sanwar gai to hayat-e-husn nikhar gai
kabhi tere husn-e-khiram se kabhi mere soz-e-dawam se

jo 'aziz-warsi' tha kabhi wo 'aziz-warsi' ab nahin
na junun-e-ishq-e-butan hai ab na gharaz hai baada-o-jam se
