mere raqib se hans kar kalam karte hue
guzar gaya hai wo mujh ko salam karte hue

ajab ki dubne wala to mutmain hai magar
dara hua hai samundar ye kaam karte hue

wo jis ke samne saste mein rakh diya khud ko
ulajh pada hai wo gahak bhi dam karte hue

mere wajud pe qabiz hua wo pal bhar mein
nazar ki tegh se dil ko ghulam karte hue

bache-kuchhe se ye pal bhi guzar hi jaenge
kisi ki yaad mein sahil pe sham karte hue

qasam khuda ki ye girya na dekh paunga
khushi se jaiye rishta tamam karte hue

'zaki' ye pyar hi pahchan ban gaya meri
main khas ho gaya ulfat ko aam karte hue
