tirā ḳhayāl bhī hai vaz-e-ġham kā paas bhī hai

magar ye baat ki duniyā nazar-shanās bhī hai

bahār-e-sub.h-e-azal phir ga.ī nigāhoñ meñ

vahī fazā tire kūche ke aas paas bhī hai

jo ho sake to chale aao aaj merī taraf

mile bhī der huī aur jī udaas bhī hai

ḳhulūs-e-niyyat-e-rah-rau pe munhasir hai 'azīm'

maqām-e-ishq bahut duur bhī hai paas bhī hai
