zamin-e-dil pe sabhi aasman chhod gaya
wo ek yaqin tha lekin guman chhod gaya

nai zamin naya aasman chhod gaya
tera wajud meri dastan chhod gaya

har ek sans mein kyon imtihan chhod gaya
nidhaal jism mein wo sakht jaan chhod gaya

na jaane kitne sawalon ko de diya mauqa
wo be-zaban tha lekin bayan chhod gaya

gaya safar pe to phir laut kar nahin aaya
wo apne panw ke lekin nishan chhod gaya

naya irada nai manzilon ko pane mein
purani soch purani takan chhod gaya

'zahin' dil tha jo pahle hi de diya us ko
ab ek dimagh bacha tha so dhyan chhod gaya
