dil hamārā hai ki ham mā.il-e-fariyād nahīñ
varna kyā zulm nahīñ kaun sī bedād nahīñ
husn ik shān-e-ilāhī hai magar ai be-mehr
bevafā.ī to koī husn-e-ḳhudā-dād nahīñ
sar-e-turbat vo ḳhamoshī pe mirī kahte haiñ
marne vaale tujhe paimān-e-vafā yaad nahīñ
husn-e-ārāsta qudrat kā atiyya hai magar
kyā mirā ishq-e-jigar-soz ḳhudā-dād nahīñ
laakh pāband-e-alā.eq na rahe koī yahāñ
tab-e-vārasta magar fikr se āzād nahīñ
bāham ā.īn-e-vafā rasm-e-mohabbat kaisī
vaqt ab vo hai ki bandoñ ko ḳhudā yaad nahīñ
chashm-e-maḳhmūr vo hai kābil-e-ġharq-e-mai-e-nāb
daftar-e-ishq pe jab tak ki mire saad nahīñ
pūchhte kyā ho tabāhī kā fasāna mujh se
dil-e-barbād kī sūrat bhī mujhe yaad nahīñ
zarre zarre meñ hai ik ālam-e-ma.anī pinhāñ
ḳhāk-e-barbād ko samjhe ho ki ābād nahīñ
aap kahte haiñ ki hai gor-e-ġharībāñ vīrāñ
aisī bastī to jahāñ meñ koī ābād nahīñ
āñsuoñ ko bhī zarā dekh le rone vaale
in sitāroñ meñ to duniyā koī ābād nahīñ
husn-e-ḳhud maiñ ne kiye aa.ine ke sau TukḌe
ab na kahnā ki nigāheñ sitam-ījād nahīñ
kab ḳhayālāt pe mumkin hai kisī kā pahra
dil to āzād rahā maiñ agar āzād nahīñ
sīna-kāvī ke liye shart hai dil kī himmat
nāḳhun-e-dast-e-junūñ tesha-e-farhād nahīñ
be-ḳhudī manzil-e-irfāñ hai zarā hosh meñ aa
hai ḳhudī kā ye natīja ki ḳhudā yaad nahīñ
tabqa-e-ḳhāk meñ hai ālam-e-ḳhāosh-ābād
jis ko barbād samajhte ho vo barbād nahīñ
dil-e-vīrāñ kī tabāhī kī koī had hai 'azīz'
maiñ samajhtā huuñ ki duniyā abhī ābād nahīñ
dil hamara hai ki hum mail-e-fariyaad nahin
warna kya zulm nahin kaun si bedad nahin
husn ek shan-e-ilahi hai magar ai be-mehr
bewafai to koi husn-e-KHuda-dad nahin
sar-e-turbat wo KHamoshi pe meri kahte hain
marne wale tujhe paiman-e-wafa yaad nahin
husn-e-arasta qudrat ka atiyya hai magar
kya mera ishq-e-jigar-soz KHuda-dad nahin
lakh paband-e-alaeq na rahe koi yahan
tab-e-warasta magar fikr se aazad nahin
baham aain-e-wafa rasm-e-mohabbat kaisi
waqt ab wo hai ki bandon ko KHuda yaad nahin
chashm-e-maKHmur wo hai kabil-e-gharq-e-mai-e-nab
daftar-e-ishq pe jab tak ki mere sad nahin
puchhte kya ho tabahi ka fasana mujh se
dil-e-barbaad ki surat bhi mujhe yaad nahin
zarre zarre mein hai ek aalam-e-mani pinhan
KHak-e-barbaad ko samjhe ho ki aabaad nahin
aap kahte hain ki hai gor-e-ghariban viran
aisi basti to jahan mein koi aabaad nahin
aansuon ko bhi zara dekh le rone wale
in sitaron mein to duniya koi aabaad nahin
husn-e-KHud main ne kiye aaine ke sau TukDe
ab na kahna ki nigahen sitam-ijad nahin
kab KHayalat pe mumkin hai kisi ka pahra
dil to aazad raha main agar aazad nahin
sina-kawi ke liye shart hai dil ki himmat
naKHun-e-dast-e-junun tesha-e-farhad nahin
be-KHudi manzil-e-irfan hai zara hosh mein aa
hai KHudi ka ye natija ki KHuda yaad nahin
tabqa-e-KHak mein hai aalam-e-KHaosh-abaad
jis ko barbaad samajhte ho wo barbaad nahin
dil-e-viran ki tabahi ki koi had hai 'aziz'
main samajhta hun ki duniya abhi aabaad nahin
