kahan main jaun gham-e-ishq-e-raegan le kar
ye apne ranj ye apni udasiyan le kar

jala hai dil ya koi ghar ye dekhna logo
hawaen phirti hain chaaron taraf dhuan le kar

bas ek hamara lahu sarf-e-qatl-gah hua
khade hue the bahut apne jism o jaan le kar

nae gharon mein na rauzan the aur na mehraben
parinde laut gae apne aashiyan le kar

samundaron ke safar jin ke nam likkhe the
utar gae wo kinaron pe kashtiyan le kar

talash karte hain nau-sakhta makanon mein
hum apne ghar ko purani nishaniyan le kar

unhen bhi sahne pade the azab mausam ke
chale the apne saron par jo saeban le kar

hawa mein hilte hue hath puchhte hain 'zubair'
tum ab gae to kab aaoge chhuttiyan le kar
