aae baalin pe mere isi-e-dauran ho kar
kyun magar baith gae sar-ba-gareban ho kar

raunaq-e-bazm to hun surat-e-parwana magar
aazmaen to mujhe sham-e-farozan ho kar

na to jine ka maza hai na sakun marne mein
zindagi rah gai ek khwab-e-pareshan ho kar

ham-nafas puchh to le haal-e-nasheman bhi zara
barq sayyaad ke ghar aai gulistan ho kar

na rahi tab-e-nazar lutf-e-tamasha malum
kya kiya aap ke jalwon ne pareshan ho kar

dard bhi tum ne diya hai to dawa bhi tum do
mere pahlu mein raho dard ka darman ho kar

be-bas itne hue kyun ishq-e-butan mein 'zakir'
kufr bakne lage ek mard-e-musalman ho kar
