yaad un ki dil mein aai wo aasudgi liye
zulmat mein aae jaise koi raushni liye

ai sai-e-zabt logon ko kya dun subut-e-gham
dar se hansi ke main ne to aansu bhi pi liye

ziddain-e-kaifiyat ko hum ne sula diya
jite rahe khushi se gham-e-ashiqi liye

ai sang-e-astan mere sajdon ki laj rakh
aaya hun e'tiraf-e-shikast-e-khudi liye

'ejaz' koi chaara-gar-e-gham na mil saka
phirta raha hun dahr mein dil ki lagi liye
