zo.am kā hī to āriza hai mujhe

merā maiñ hī to khā gayā hai mujhe

ātish zer-e-pā Thaharne na de

ab to manzil bhī rāsta hai mujhe

dard to kam nahīñ magar us ne

ḳhūgar-e-zabt kar diyā hai mujhe

ḳhud-ġharaz bevafā haqīr-o-faqīr

us ne kyā kyā nahīñ kahā hai mujhe

maiñ talabgār thā masarrat kā

daftar-e-rañj-o-ġham milā hai mujhe

maiñ ne ash.ār kab likhe 'āzam'

mere ash.ār ne likhā hai mujhe
