Dard Shayan-e-shan-e-dil Bhi Nahin

dard shayan-e-shan-e-dil bhi nahin

aur shab-e-hijr mustaqil bhi nahin

yun gale mil ke faeda kya hai

zaKHm andar se mundamil bhi nahin

wasl bhi hai firaq bhi is mein

mausam-e-ishq moatadil bhi nahin

har kisi se ye mel kyun khae

dil to phir dil hai aab-o-gil bhi nahin

soch hai kuchh haqiqaten kuchh hain

KHwab-e-tabir muttasil bhi nahin

ab bhi jari hai raqs miTTi ka

sans ke tar muzmahil bhi nahin

hum jo ruThe hain jaan se 'zakir'

rabt TuTa hai munfasil bhi nahin
