maiñ dil meñ un kī yaad ke tūfāñ ko paal kar
laayā huuñ ek mauj-e-taġhazzul nikāl kar

paimāna-e-tarab meñ kahīñ baal aa gayā
maiñ garche pī rahā thā bahut hī sambhāl kar

mahfil jamī huī hai tirī raah meñ koī
ai gardish-e-zamāna bas itnā ḳhayāl kar

āzād jins-e-dil ko faqat ik nazar pe bech
saudā girāñ nahīñ na bahut qīl-o-qāl kar

ḳhat ke javāb meñ na lagā itnī der tū
merā agar nahīñ hai to apnā ḳhayāl kar

kyuuñ maiñ ne dil diyā hai kise maiñ ne dil diyā
ai aql aaj mujh se na itne savāl kar

ai dil ye rāh-e-ishq hai rāh-e-ḳhirad nahīñ
is par qadam baḌhā tū zarā dekh bhaal kar

phir ishq bazm-e-husn kī jānib ravāñ hai aaj
dīvāngī ko aql ke sāñche meñ Dhaal kar

'āzād' phir dakan kā samundar hai aur tū
le jā dil o nazar kā safīna sambhāl kar

main dil mein un ki yaad ke tufan ko pal kar
laya hun ek mauj-e-taghazzul nikal kar

paimana-e-tarab mein kahin baal aa gaya
main garche pi raha tha bahut hi sambhaal kar

mahfil jami hui hai teri rah mein koi
ai gardish-e-zamana bas itna KHayal kar

aazad jins-e-dil ko faqat ek nazar pe bech
sauda giran nahin na bahut qil-o-qal kar

KHat ke jawab mein na laga itni der tu
mera agar nahin hai to apna KHayal kar

kyun main ne dil diya hai kise main ne dil diya
ai aql aaj mujh se na itne sawal kar

ai dil ye rah-e-ishq hai rah-e-KHirad nahin
is par qadam baDha tu zara dekh bhaal kar

phir ishq bazm-e-husn ki jaanib rawan hai aaj
diwangi ko aql ke sanche mein Dhaal kar

'azad' phir dakan ka samundar hai aur tu
le ja dil o nazar ka safina sambhaal kar
