roz afzun hai aab-o-tab-e-sukhan
ta qayamat khula hai bab-e-sukhan

mujh ko seri na ho saki ab tak
go ki pita raha hun aab-e-sukhan

is ka chaska ajib chaska hai
chhutti hi nahin sharab-e-sukhan

'mir'-o-'sauda'-o-'ghaalib'-o-'iqbaal'
khinchte hain sabhi tanab-e-sukhan

be-shumar is ke hain 'zaki' diwan
kya kare koi ehtisab-e-sukhan
