jafa dekhni thi sitam dekhna tha
jafā dekhnī thī sitam dekhnā thā
nasīboñ meñ ranj-o-alam dekhnā thā
vo aate na aate shab-e-va.ada lekin
mujhe de ke sar kī qasam dekhnā thā
ḳhajālat huī us ke kūche meñ kyā kyā
mujhe pahle naqsh-e-qadam dekhnā thā
mujhe dekhnī terī himmat thī saaqī
bahut dekhnā thā na kam dekhnā thā
kaTī shām-e-furqat 'azīz' aah kyūñ-kar
zarā ā.īna sub.h-dam dekhnā thā
jafa dekhni thi sitam dekhna tha
nasibon mein ranj-o-alam dekhna tha
wo aate na aate shab-e-wada lekin
mujhe de ke sar ki qasam dekhna tha
KHajalat hui us ke kuche mein kya kya
mujhe pahle naqsh-e-qadam dekhna tha
mujhe dekhni teri himmat thi saqi
bahut dekhna tha na kam dekhna tha
kaTi sham-e-furqat 'aziz' aah kyun-kar
zara aaina subh-dam dekhna tha
