ashk mere gauhar-e-nayab ho gae
hasraton ke sab bhanwar gharqab ho gae

kal khuluson ke chaman mahka kiye jahan
gum kahan wo pyar ke aadab ho gae

phir khayalon se tere aisa asar hua
sab nazare dard ke shadab ho gae

dushmanon se dosti karna khata hui
yak-ba-yak nalan sabhi ahbab ho gae

hausle le kar ilaj-e-tiragi kiye
wo sabhi jugnu kahan kamyab ho gae

tum nahin to gulsitan ko kha gai khizan
zakhm khulne ke liye asbab ho gae

bas khata 'zakir' hamari itni si rahi
hum wafa ki rah mein nayab ho gae
