kar chuke barbād dil ko fikr kyā anjām kī
ab hameñ de do ye miTTī hai hamāre kaam kī
Duub de de bāda-e-gul-rañg meñ zāhid agar
dekhiye rañgīniyāñ phir jāma-e-ehrām kī
aks-e-abrū dekhte haiñ bāda-e-sar-josh meñ
iid hai sāqī-parastoñ meñ hilāl-e-jām kī
ibtidā-e-ishq hai aur bujh rahā hai dil mirā
ho chalī dhīmī abhī se lau charāġh-e-shām kī
aañkh meñ aañsū haiñ māthe par araq hai maut kā
le ḳhabar umr-e-ravāñ apne chhalakte jaam kī
ho ga.ī bāzīcha-e-atfāl be-zauq-o-shu.ūr
shā.irī jo thī murādif ma.anī-e-ilhām kī
puḳhtagī samjhe hue haiñ jo tanāsub ko faqat
chāhiye islāh un ko is ḳhayāl-e-ḳhām kī
hai ye nāzuk fan jo shāyān-e-tahī-maġhzī nahīñ
daur-e-majlis meñ zarūrat kyā hai ḳhālī jaam kī
hai 'azīz' ā.īna-e-lafzī murā.ātun-nazīr
husn-e-ma.anī jab nahīñ phir shā.irī kis kaam kī
kar chuke barbaad dil ko fikr kya anjam ki
ab hamein de do ye miTTi hai hamare kaam ki
Dub de de baada-e-gul-rang mein zahid agar
dekhiye ranginiyan phir jama-e-ehram ki
aks-e-abru dekhte hain baada-e-sar-josh mein
id hai saqi-paraston mein hilal-e-jam ki
ibtida-e-ishq hai aur bujh raha hai dil mera
ho chali dhimi abhi se lau charagh-e-sham ki
aankh mein aansu hain mathe par araq hai maut ka
le KHabar umr-e-rawan apne chhalakte jam ki
ho gai bazicha-e-atfal be-zauq-o-shuur
shairi jo thi muradif mani-e-ilham ki
puKHtagi samjhe hue hain jo tanasub ko faqat
chahiye islah un ko is KHayal-e-KHam ki
hai ye nazuk fan jo shayan-e-tahi-maghzi nahin
daur-e-majlis mein zarurat kya hai KHali jam ki
hai 'aziz' aaina-e-lafzi muraatun-nazir
husn-e-mani jab nahin phir shairi kis kaam ki
