aarzu kab koi mohtaj-e-bayan hoti hai
khamushi khud hi mohabbat ki zaban hoti hai

rahat-o-aish mein ye baat kahan hoti hai
zindagi dard mein dube to jawan hoti hai

talib-e-ishq-o-mohabbat hain na puchho hum se
shab kahan subh kahan sham kahan hoti hai

jis nasheman ki ho tamir mein khun-e-mazlum
us ki nigaran nazar-e-barq-e-tapan hoti hai

tu ne dekhi ho to kuchh tujh se kahun ai naseh
kaif-za kya nigah-e-pir-e-mughan hoti hai

be-sabab tu na samajh naseh-e-nadan is ko
tis si ek jo qarib-e-rag-e-jaan hoti hai

ahl-e-dil ahl-e-nazar se koi puchhe 'zamzam'
is mohabbat ko jo sine mein nihan hoti hai
