mahakte phul jo har-su nazar mein rakhta hai
wo shakhs apni udasi ko ghar mein rakhta hai

isi liye to bulandi hai us ke zer-e-qadam
hunar udan ke wo baal-o-par mein rakhta hai

hamein to pyar se dam bhar ki bhi nahin fursat
tera jigar hai jo nafrat jigar mein rakhta hai

har ek rahguzar us ki kyon na ho raushan
tera khayal jo apne safar mein rakhta hai

isi liye hi mujhe khubiyan huin hasil
wo meri khamiyan apni nazar mein rakhta hai

badal hi dega muqaddar ki sab lakiron ko
wo e'timad jo dast-e-hunar mein rakhta hai

'zahin' faisle us par hi chhod de sare
tu baat baat ko kyon khair-o-shar mein rakhta hai
