sukhan ka us se yara bhi nahin hai
sukhan ke bin guzara bhi nahin hai

bayan sheron mein hum karte hain jitna
wo is darja to pyara bhi nahin hai

bahut shikwe hain us ko zindagi se
magar marna gawara bhi nahin hai

nazar mein jitni hairani hai utna
anokha to nazara bhi nahin hai

libas-e-jaan tujhe wapas to de dun
magar ek qarz utara bhi nahin hai

nikal aae dil-e-viran ki jaanib
koi qismat ka mara bhi nahin hai

sahaara us ka lena pad gaya hai
jo khud apna sahaara bhi nahin hai

jise 'zishan' badh kar rokna tha
use main ne pukara bhi nahin hai
