wo baat kare bhi to dil-azar kare hai
inkar kare hai na to iqrar kare hai

wo phir nae andaz se ek war kare hai
phir tir-e-nazar dil ko mere par kare hai

andaz-e-nazar us ka zamane se juda hai
dil muft mein lene se bhi inkar kare hai

jo ho na saka barq-e-tapan-khez se zalim
wo kaam teri garmi-e-guftar kare hai

main jag ke soya hi tha aakhir shab-e-furqat
kyon wade ki aahat mujhe bedar kare hai

phir kis ne sada haqq-o-sadaqat ki sunai
ab yaad kise phir rasan-o-dar kare hai

'azad' har ek gam pe wo ghamza-e-ghammaz
zarron ko sitare dam-e-raftar kare hai
