kis ko mili taskin-e-sahil kis ne sar manjdhaar kiya
us tufan se guzre jis ne nadi nadi ko par kiya

ai farzano! diwanon ke jazba-e-dil ki qadr karo
un ki ek nazar ne aatish aatish ko gulzar kiya

ranj-e-mohabbat ranj-e-zamana donon hum se khaif hain
hum ne soch samajh kar dil ko sargarm-e-paikar kiya

sahra sahra hum ne nok-e-khar se talwe sahlae
mahfil mahfil hum ne apni wahshat ka iqrar kiya

un se kah do samne aa kar apne jalwe aam karen
khalwat-e-naz mein chhup na sakenge hum ne agar israr kiya

hum ne apne ishq ki khatir zanjiren bhi dekhin hain
hum ne un ke husn ki khatir raqs bhi zer-e-dar kiya

basti basti aaj hamari sai-e-wafa ki shohrat hai
hum ne 'zahir' ek aalam ko paband-e-nigah-e-yar kiya
