mathe pe shikan la na in aankhon mein ghazab likh

māthe pe shikan lā na in āñkhoñ meñ ġhazab likh

ai dost ḳhafā kyoñ hai mujhe is kā sabab likh

gūñgī haiñ fazā.eñ to shajar bhī hue bahre

mat shāḳh-e-tamannā pe koī arz-e-talab likh

ik us kī mohabbat ke bulāve ko bhī sun le

jā saf.ha-e-ruḳhsār pe kuchh garmi-e-lab likh

arzī pe tujhe varna taraqqī na milegī

auqāt batā apnī koī nām-o-nasab likh

mausam kī tarah tujh ko badalnā hai 'azīm' ab

ḳhāmoshī-e-guftār kahīñ shor-o-shaġhab likh

mathe pe shikan la na in aankhon mein ghazab likh

ai dost KHafa kyon hai mujhe is ka sabab likh

gungi hain fazaen to shajar bhi hue bahre

mat shaKH-e-tamanna pe koi arz-e-talab likh

ek us ki mohabbat ke bulawe ko bhi sun le

ja safha-e-ruKHsar pe kuchh garmi-e-lab likh

arzi pe tujhe warna taraqqi na milegi

auqat bata apni koi nam-o-nasab likh

mausam ki tarah tujh ko badalna hai 'azim' ab

KHamoshi-e-guftar kahin shor-o-shaghab likh
