Mujhse Aise Wamanda-e-jaan Ko Bistar-wistar Kya

mujh se aise wamanda-e-jaan ko bistar-wistar kya

pal do pal ko mund lun aankhen warna ghar-war kya

chhoDo kya rona le baiThe ranj-o-rahat ka

qaid hi jab Thahri hasti to behtar-wehtar kya

main bhi sar Takraata phira hun diwaron se bahut

DhunDh rahe ho is gumbad mein koi dar-war kya

aaKHir ko thak-haar ke mujh ko zamin par aana hai

zor-o-shor-e-bazu kaisa shahpar-wahpar kya

mere qalam hi se jab mera rizq utra hai

jaana hai ek kar-e-ziyan ko daftar-waftar kya

surat ek tarashunga to sau rah jaengi

kyun patthar ko subuk karun main paikar-waikar kya

baalida bar-awar hona miTTi ho jaana

sarsabz zarKHezi kaisi banjar-wanjar kya

aab o sarab o KHwab o haqiqat ek se lagte hain

dida-wari kya aaina ka jauhar-wauhar kya

mujh ko bahae le jati hai KHud hi mauj meri

mera rasta rok sakenge patthar-watthar kya

rang-e-shafaq sabze ka nasha kuchh nahin aankhon mein

dur KHala mein dekh raha hun manzar-wanzar kya

mera aur sahil ka rishta kab ka TuT chuka

'zeb' kahan ka KHema-e-kashti langar-wangar kya
