jhil mein us ka paikar dekha jaise shola pani mein
zulf ki lahren pechan jaise nag ho lapka pani mein

chandni shab mein us ke pichhe jab main utra pani mein
chandi aur simab laga tha pighla pighla pani mein

kitne rang ki machhliyan aain lalchati aur bal khati
qatra qatra meri ragon se khun jo tapka pani mein

raushan raushan rang nirale kaise nadir kitne habab
qulzum-e-hasti raqs mein tha ya ek tamasha pani mein

ek qalandar dhund raha tha chand sitaron mein ja kar
us ka khuda to poshida tha anqa jaisa pani mein

mujh ko ye mahsus hua tha apne ahd ka khizr hun main
chupke chupke jab bhi main ne khizr ko dhunda pani mein

aalaish daghon se bhara ye tera badan ek roz 'zafar'
rahmat ki ghata jab barsi thi to saf hua tha pani mein
