Ai dil teri aahon mein itna to asar aae

ai dil teri aahon mein itna to asar aae
jab yaad karun un ki taswir nazar aae

har chand hasin the tum har chand jawan the tum
par ishq ke sae mein kuchh aur nikhar aae

main khel samajhta tha mujh ko ye KHabar kya thi
kya jaaniye kab mere dil mein wo utar aae

us husn ke jalwon ne kuchh sehr kiya aisa
nazron mein na meri phir kuchh shams-o-qamar aae

phir kis se milen nazren phir kis ne mujhe chheDa
phir daur-e-mohabbat ke sab naqsh ubhar aae

tufan-e-hawadis ne kab kab na hamein ghera
dariya-e-mohabbat mein kya kya na bhanwar aae

halki si siyahi hai tahrir-e-mohabbat ki
aansu ki jagah bah kar phir KHun-e-jigar aae

manzil ki tamanna ne rukne na diya us ko
raste mein musafir ke go lakh shajar aae

pur-KHar thin viran thin rahen to mohabbat ki
jaanbaz tere lekin be-KHauf-o-KHatar aae

go lakh kaha dil ne ruk jao Thahar jao
hum phir bhi na jaane kyun chup-chap guzar aae

kya aur na tha koi jo un ko samajh pata
bazar-e-jihaalat mein kyun ahl-e-hunar aae

is daur-e-taraqqi mein bas wo hai 'zaki' achchha
jo sidhe ya ulTe hi har kaam ko kar aae
