mujhe to jo bhi mila hai azab ki surat

mujhe to jo bhī milā hai azaab kī sūrat

mirī hayāt hai ik tishna ḳhvāb kī sūrat

havāo dil kī taraf ehtiyāt se jaanā

vajūd amn kā hai qaa.em hubāb kī sūrat

malāmateñ ġham-o-ālām fikr māyūsī

ye zindagī hai shikasta kitāb kī sūrat

ḳhud apnī kargasī fitrat se ho ga.e rusvā

vagarna tum bhī uThe the uqaab kī sūrat

kabhī falak to samundar kabhī uThā laayā

pasand donoñ ko hai āftāb kī sūrat

shaguftagī kī jagah jhurriyoñ ne le lī hai

hamārā chehra thā 'ājiz' gulāb kī sūrat

mujhe to jo bhi mila hai azab ki surat

meri hayat hai ek tishna KHwab ki surat

hawao dil ki taraf ehtiyat se jaana

wajud amn ka hai qaem hubab ki surat

malamaten gham-o-alam fikr mayusi

ye zindagi hai shikasta kitab ki surat

KHud apni kargasi fitrat se ho gae ruswa

wagarna tum bhi uThe the uqab ki surat

kabhi falak to samundar kabhi uTha laya

pasand donon ko hai aaftab ki surat

shaguftagi ki jagah jhurriyon ne le li hai

hamara chehra tha 'ajiz' gulab ki surat
