haal dil ka ayan nahin hota
hum se ab kuchh bayan nahin hota

but-kada ho haram ki mai-khana
zikr tera kahan nahin hota

ek nazar khud pe daliye sahab
aaina bad-zaban nahin hota

mausam-e-gul bhi is baras hum par
jaane kyon mehrban nahin hota

uf tasawwur ke silsile 'zahid'
khatm ye karwan nahin hota
