zehn par jab dard khamoshi ki chadar tanta hai
qatra qatra aankh se lafz-o-maani chhanta hai

har kas-o-na-kas ko ras aati nahin aawaragardi
raste us par hi khulte hain jo chalna jaanta hai

naqsh-e-parina hata kar main nae paikar tarashun
kuza-gar kankar hata kar jaise mitti santa hai

wo hai diwana use gumnami o tashhir se kya
khamushi se kar guzarta hai jo dil mein thanta hai

kor-chashmi ne bikhera husn ka shiraaza warna
ishtihaari jism bhi poshidgi ko manta hai

ye sila bhi kam nahin 'azim' teri mashq-e-sukhan ka
koi ghazlon ke hawale se tujhe pahchanta hai
