Wo jo ek shakl mere chaar taraf bikhri thi

wo jo ek shakl mere chaar taraf bikhri thi
main ne jab ghaur se dekha to meri apni thi

phir asiron pe kisi KHwab ne jadu Dala
raat kuchh halqa-e-zanjir mein KHamoshi thi

yun to aadab-e-mohabbat mein sabhi jaez tha
phir bhi chup rahne mein ek shan dil-awezi thi

raat bhar jagne walon ne pas-e-shama-e-zard
subh ek KHwab ki surat ki tarah dekhi thi

shorish-e-sher mein KHamosh si kyun hai 'zehra'
achchha-KHasa to kabhi wo bhi kaha karti thi
