sae mein aablon ki jalan aur baDh gai

saa.e meñ ābloñ kī jalan aur baḌh ga.ī

thak kar jo baiThe ham to thakan aur baḌh ga.ī

kal is qadar thā habs hamāre makān meñ

sankī havā zarā to ghuTan aur baḌh ga.ī

kāñToñ kī guftugū se ḳhalish dil meñ kam na thī

phūloñ ke tazkire se chubhan aur baḌh ga.ī

ye bāġhbāñ hamāre lahū kā kamāl hai

nairañgī-e-bahār-e-chaman aur baḌh ga.ī

ye hijr kī hai aag mizāj us kā aur hai

ashkoñ se sho.alagī-e-badan aur baḌh ga.ī

sairāb kar sakā na use merā ḳhuun bhī

kuchh tishnagī-e-dār-o-rasan aur baḌh ga.ī

harf-e-sipās pesh kiyā jab bhī vo milā

lekin jabīñ pe us kī shikan aur baḌh ga.ī

tahrīr kī jo ek ġhazal us ke naam par

'ejāz' ābrū-e-suḳhan aur baḌh ga.ī

sae mein aablon ki jalan aur baDh gai

thak kar jo baiThe hum to thakan aur baDh gai

kal is qadar tha habs hamare makan mein

sanki hawa zara to ghuTan aur baDh gai

kanTon ki guftugu se KHalish dil mein kam na thi

phulon ke tazkire se chubhan aur baDh gai

ye baghban hamare lahu ka kamal hai

nairangi-e-bahaar-e-chaman aur baDh gai

ye hijr ki hai aag mizaj us ka aur hai

ashkon se shoalagi-e-badan aur baDh gai

sairab kar saka na use mera KHun bhi

kuchh tishnagi-e-dar-o-rasan aur baDh gai

harf-e-sipas pesh kiya jab bhi wo mila

lekin jabin pe us ki shikan aur baDh gai

tahrir ki jo ek ghazal us ke nam par

'ejaz' aabru-e-suKHan aur baDh gai
