aaraam apne bas kaa hai bas main nahin hai kiyaa — Aziz Hyderabadi

vo ye kah kar daagh dete hain mujhe
phuul se pahle samar aate nahin

mushkil hai imtiyaaz-e-azaab-o-savaab mein
piitaa huun main sharaab milaa kar gulaab mein

koi rusvaa koi saudaai hai
ik jahaan aap kaa shaidaai hai

zor qismat pe chal nahin saktaa
khaamushi ikhtiyaar kartaa huun

us ne sun kar baat meri Taal di
uljhanon mein aur uljhan Daal di

ayaan yaa nihaan ik nazar dekh lete
kisi surat un ko magar dekh lete

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

qaatil tiri gali bhi badaun se kam nahin
jis ke qadam qadam pe mazaar-e-shahid hai

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa
