us ne nigah-e-lutf-e-karam bar bar ki
ab khairiyat nahin hai dil-e-be-qarar ki

dar ye hai khul na jae kahin raaz-e-ishq bhi
nibhne lagi hai un se mere raazdar ki

sab ke nasib mein hai kahan mauj-e-dard-o-gham
makhsus hain inayaten parwardigar ki

yaadon ki anjuman mein unhen bhi bula liya
ek sham yun bhi hum ne bahut yaadgar ki

jab hum hi fasl-e-gul mein chaman se nikal gae
phir kyun suna rahe ho kahani bahaar ki

'zakir' hum apna dil bhi wahin chhod aae hain
kis darja pur-kashish thi faza us dayar ki
