zulm kyon narawa kare koi
kuchh to khauf-e-khuda kare koi

hoga maghrur aur bhi maghrur
aaina de ke kya kare koi

sun le apne faqir ki sun le
ek sada hai bhala kare koi

muft hi kar rahe hain zulm-o-sitam
qarz ho to ada kare koi

intiha ho chuki khushamad ki
us ki marzi ka kya kare koi

aah likh kar qalam bhi tod diya
haal kab tak likha kare koi

aashiqon ka faqat bahana hai
dard ho to dawa kare koi

lo chalo bazm-e-ghair mein bhi chalen
dekhen 'ejaz' kya kare koi
