zindagi ke liye itna bhi kya hairan hona
mujh ko aata nahin be-wajh pareshan hona

mangna jo bhi ho mangungi main apne rab se
mang kar bande se aaya na pasheman hona

yun to guftar mein mahir hain bahut se lekin
itna aasan nahin sachchai pe qurban hona

mujh se ulfat hai to bas mere hi ban kar rahna
bhul kar bhi na kabhi ghair ke mehman hona

har ghadi tirgi rahti hai musallat mujh par
main ne dekha hi nahin dil ka darakhshan hona

daur-e-hazir ko lagi kis ki nazar-bad 'zaryab'
aadmi ko bhi mayassar nahin insan hona
