dil hi mein nala-e-shab-gir ulat jata hai
na-muwafiq hai hawa tir ulat jata hai

nale us ki nigah-e-qahr se ruk jate hain
tir se murgh-e-hawa-gir ulat jata hai

jalwa-gah mein teri kya thahrun ki saya na-chaar
jab hua rukash-e-tanwir ulat jata hai

thahra izhaar-e-wafa shikwa-e-wasl-e-aghyar
rashk se hasil-e-taqrir ulat jata hai

munh kharabaat mein rindon se chhupae kya shaikh
nashshe mein daman-e-tazwir ulat jata hai

zauq-e-tahsin 'zaki' kis qadar allah-allah
dam-e-bismil dam-e-takbir ulat jata hai
