zaalim thaa vo aur zulm kii aadat bhii bahut thii

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

us butt ke sitam sah ke dikhaa hii diyaa ham ne
go apanii tabiyat mein bagavat bhii bahut thii

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

yun hii nahiin mashhuur-e-zamaanaa meraa qaatil
us shaKhs ko is fun mein mahaarat bhii bahut thii

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

har shaam sunaate the hasiinon ko Gazal ham
jab maal bahut thaa to saKhaavat bhii bahut thii

bulavaa ke ham 'Ajiz' ko pasheman bhii bahut hain
kyaa kiijiye kambaKht kii shoharat bhii bahut thii
