zaalim thaa vo aur zulm kii aadat bhii bahut thii
majabuur the ham us se muhabbat bhii bahut thii

us but ke sitam sah ke dikhaa hii diyaa ham ne
go apanii tabiyat me.n baGaavat bhii bahut thii

vaaqif hii na thaa ramz-e-muhabbat se vo varnaa
dil ke liye tho.Dii sii inaayat bhii bahut thii

yuu.N hii nahii.n mashhuur-e-zamaanaa meraa qaatil
us shaKhs ko is fan me.n mahaarat bhii bahut thii

kyaa daur-e-Gazal thaa ke lahuu dil me.n bahut thaa
aur dil ko lahuu karane kii fursat bhii bahut thii

har shaam sunaate the hasiino.n ko Gazal ham
jab maal bahut thaa to saKhaavat bhii bahut thii

bulavaa ke ham 'Ajiz' ko pashemaa.N bhii bahut hai.n
kyaa kiijiye kam_baKht kii shoharat bhii bahut thii
