ye aur baat hai kuchh gham jahan jahan na hua
hamare haal ka charcha kahan kahan na hua

hue ho jaan-ba-lab ab hoga kya tamanna ka
jahan pe dhundte ho dil agar wahan na hua

mile jo jurm-e-wafa ki saza yahin pe mile
hisab apna kahan hoga jo yahan na hua

nahin hain aansu hi koi zaban mere dil ki
hai aisa ashk bhi aankhon se jo rawan na hua

hua kya jaaniye dil ko mere shab-e-tarik
hazaron dagh magar ek bhi ayan na hua

chadhaya dar pe aur kar diya mujhe zinda
ye aur kuchh hua hasrat hai imtihan na hua

suna rahe ho yun wahshat mein haal-e-gham jo 'azm'
hua wo nala-e-dil dard ka bayan na hua
