Ummid Par Hamari Ye Duniya Khari Nahin

ummid par hamari ye duniya khari nahin

phir bhi to us ko paane ki ḳhvahish miri nahin

be-vaj.h gul-ruḳhon se miri be-ruḳhi kahan

mere junun-e-shauq ke qabil pari nahin

taskin mile bhi dida-e-hairan ko kis tarah

shishagari nahin kahin jalvagari nahin

bad-rang si bahar hai fasl-e-bahar men

bashshash dil nahin hai tabi.at hari nahin

lagta hai aaj shahr ke halat Thiik hain

masjid vagarna kal ki tarah kyuun bhari nahin

halanki mere jurm pe parde paḌe rahe

dil ki malamaton se magar main bari nahin

dharti pe dikh rahe hain gunahon ke ab asar

‘azam’ kahin to ḳhushki kahin par tari nahin
