dil ye kahta hai ki ek aalam-e-muztar dekhun
barish-e-sang mein logon ko khule sar dekhun

phir wo musi ka asa nil ka shaq ho jaana
fauj firaun ka main dubta manzar dekhun

aaine tod ke daudun main kisi jangal ko
apni surat ko kisi jhil ke andar dekhun

mera sab le lo mujhe ek mohabbat de do
shahr mein aisi bhi aawaz laga kar dekhun

jaanta hun ki chhupa hai wo kahin sine mein
kash is dard ki surat ko main bahar dekhun

us ne ek roz mohabbat se bulaya tha mujhe
main to har roz use apne barabar dekhun

dur tak ek hi manzar hai makanon ka 'zahir'
kis taraf jaun main kis or mera ghar dekhun
