vus.at-e-chashm ko andoh-e-basārat likhkhā
maiñ ne ik vasl ko ik hijr kī hālat likhkhā
maiñ ne parvāz likhī hadd-e-falak se aage
aur be-bāl-o-parī ko bhī nihāyat likhkhā
maiñ ne ḳhushbū ko likhā dastaras-e-gum-shudagī
rañg ko fāsla rakhne kī ri.āyat likkhā
husn-e-goyā.ī ko likhnā thā likhī sargoshī
shor likhnā thā so āzār-e-samā.at likhkhā
maiñ ne ta.abīr ko tahrīr meñ aane na diyā
ḳhvāb likhte hue mohtāj-e-bashārat likhkhā
koī āsān rifāqat nahīñ likkhī maiñ ne
qurb ko jab bhī likhā jazb-e-raqābat likhkhā
itne daaoñ se guzar kar ye ḳhayāl aatā hai
'azm' kyā tum ne kabhī harf-e-nadāmat likhkhā
