khwab aankhon se zaban se har kahani le gaya
mukhtasar ye hai wo meri zindagani le gaya

phul se mausam ki barsaten hawaon ki mahak
ab ke mausam ki wo sab shamen suhani le gaya

de gaya mujh ko sarabon ka sukut-e-mustaqil
mere ashkon se wo dariya ki rawani le gaya

khak ab udne lagi maidan sahra ho gae
ret ka tufan dariyaon se pani le gaya

kaun pahchanega 'zarrin' mujh ko itni bhid mein
mere chehre se wo apni har nishani le gaya
