jo baat wajh-e-sukun hai dil-o-nazar ke liye

jo baat wajh-e-sukun hai dil-o-nazar ke liye
wahi hai dam-e-bala hasti-e-bashar ke liye
kise khabar thi hai parwarda-e-shab-e-alam
charagh kitne bujhae hain jis sahar ke liye


kahen to kya kahen un ko jo kho ke manzil hi
taras rahe hain faqat aaj tak safar ke liye
khuli na aankh magar is ke bawajud un ki
fareb kha gae jo log umr-bhar ke liye


junun-e-shauq na ho kam kisi qadam par bhi
ye khizr-e-rah hai dar-asl har safar ke liye
wo fasl-e-gul mein jo sarmaya-e-dil-o-jaan the
wahi nazare qayamat hain ab nazar ke liye


usi ki shakl nigahon mein phirti rahti hai
mila hai dagh-e-alam jis se umr-bhar ke liye
'zubair' shauq-e-farawan hi sath le ke chale
ki zad-e-rah to kuchh chahiye safar ke liye
