tujh ko 'zahid' ye ab hua kya hai
baithe baithe ye sochta kya hai

chhodiye gul-rukhon ki baaton ko
un ki rangat mein ab dhara kya hai

hadson ko gale lagata hun
aur taqdir mein likha kya hai

kyon ye phirta hai dar-ba-dar mara
kaun jaane ise hua kya hai

khasta-haali pe meri hanste ho
ye na puchha ki majra kya hai

ek but se ho aashna 'zahid'
main nahin jaanta khuda kya hai
