Pur-lutf sukun-baKHsh hawaen bhi bahut thin

pur-lutf sukun-baKHsh hawaen bhi bahut thin
gulshan mein tassub ki wabaen bhi bahut thin

KHud main ne hi rakkha na KHayal apna kabhi bhi
ghairon ki kuchh apnon ki jafaen bhi bahut thin

surat pe ujale the agar shams-o-qamar ke
zulfon ki siyahi mein ghaTaen bhi bahut thin

thi ahd-e-jawani mein mohabbat hi mohabbat
na-karda gunahon ki sazaen bhi bahut thin

mabhut the mashur the sab dekh ke us ko
shaffaf sarapa tha adaen bhi bahut thin

har waqt mere sath the asbab-e-tabahi
qismat thi KHarab apni KHataen bhi bahut thin

ek rose qaza le gai bimar ko 'azam'
the jab ki masiha bhi dawaen bhi bahut thin
