kisi gunge ka khwab ho jaise
tera milna habab ho jaise

tera chehra habab ho jaise
ek muqaddas kitab ho jaise

log yun tera nam lete hain
koi kar-e-sawab ho jaise

hansta rahta hai gham ki dhup mein bhi
wo shagufta gulab ho jaise

har ghadi ehtiram wajib hai
gham bhi izzat-maab ho jaise

main akela hun aaj phir 'zahid'
mez par ek kitab ho jaise
