Mere ZaKHm-e-jigar Ko ZaKHm-e-daman-dar Hona Tha

mere zaKHm-e-jigar ko zaKHm-e-daman-dar hona tha

zara wazeh tumhaare lutf ka izhaar hona tha

dil-e-pur-dagh ki tarikiyon par saKHt hairat hai

ye wo matla hai jis ko matla-e-anwar hona tha

tumhein lena tha pahle jaeza apni nigahon ka

phir us ke baad musa talib-e-didar hona tha

pareshan hain misal-e-gard-gumnami ke sahra mein

bahut aise ki jin ko qafila-salar hona tha

udhar wo aae aankhon mein idhar KHwab-e-ajal aaya

kahan soi hui taqdir ko bedar hona tha

koi dekhe to 'fazil' qabiliyyat baghbanon ki

wahan kanTe hi kanTe hain jahan gulzar hona tha
