musibat thi hamare hi liye kyun

musībat thī hamāre hī liye kyuuñ

ye maanā ham jiye lekin jiye kyuuñ

na aanā aur phir ilzām denā

ki itne be-asar naale kiye kyuuñ

pas-e-ḳhum piine meñ hai kyā buzurgī

jo piinā hai to phir chhup kar piye kyuuñ

jo dī thī husn meñ ye dil-farebī

mujhe hosh-o-havās itne diye kyuuñ

ḳhayāl-e-jumbish-e-mizhgāñ na rakkhā

hamāre zaḳhm meñ Tāñke diye kyuuñ

'azīz' ilzām detā hai mujhe zabt

na thī tāsīr to naale kiye kyuuñ

musibat thi hamare hi liye kyun

ye mana hum jiye lekin jiye kyun

na aana aur phir ilzam dena

ki itne be-asar nale kiye kyun

pas-e-KHum pine mein hai kya buzurgi

jo pina hai to phir chhup kar piye kyun

jo di thi husn mein ye dil-farebi

mujhe hosh-o-hawas itne diye kyun

KHayal-e-jumbish-e-mizhgan na rakkha

hamare zaKHm mein Tanke diye kyun

'aziz' ilzam deta hai mujhe zabt

na thi tasir to nale kiye kyun
