dil kushta-e-nazar hai mahrūm-e-guftugū huuñ
samjho mire ishāre maiñ surma-dar-gulū huuñ
muddat se kho gayā huuñ sargarm-e-justujū huuñ
apnā hī mudda.ā huuñ apnī hī aarzū huuñ
sūrat-e-savāl huuñ maiñ pūchho na merā matlab
maiñ apne mudda.ā kī tasvīr hū-ba-hū huuñ
hai dil meñ josh-e-hasrat rukte nahīñ haiñ aañsū
ristī huī surāhī TuuTā huā subū huuñ
zaḳhmoñ se dil kā aalam kyā pūchhte ho kyā hai
gulzār-e-be-ḳhizāñ huuñ duniyā-e-rañg-o-bū huuñ
jalve hijāb-afgan āñkheñ halāk-hasrat
to mahv-e-parda-dārī meñ vaqf-e-justujū huuñ
pāmāl yuuñ huā huuñ pinhāñ hai mujh meñ aalam
ek musht-e-ḳhāk ho kar sahrā-e-ārzū huuñ
ruḳh se kafan haTā do kyā pūchhte haiñ pūchheñ
parde meñ ḳhāmushī ke sargarm-e-guftugū huuñ
kis se 'azīz' rakkhūñ ummīd dostī kī
sarkash hai nafs jab tak apnā hī maiñ adū huuñ
dil kushta-e-nazar hai mahrum-e-guftugu hun
samjho mere ishaare main surma-dar-gulu hun
muddat se kho gaya hun sargarm-e-justuju hun
apna hi muddaa hun apni hi aarzu hun
surat-e-sawal hun main puchho na mera matlab
main apne muddaa ki taswir hu-ba-hu hun
hai dil mein josh-e-hasrat rukte nahin hain aansu
risti hui surahi TuTa hua subu hun
zaKHmon se dil ka aalam kya puchhte ho kya hai
gulzar-e-be-KHizan hun duniya-e-rang-o-bu hun
jalwe hijab-afgan aankhen halak-hasrat
to mahw-e-parda-dari mein waqf-e-justuju hun
pamal yun hua hun pinhan hai mujh mein aalam
ek musht-e-KHak ho kar sahra-e-arzu hun
ruKH se kafan haTa do kya puchhte hain puchhen
parde mein KHamushi ke sargarm-e-guftugu hun
kis se 'aziz' rakkhun ummid dosti ki
sarkash hai nafs jab tak apna hi main adu hun
