aankhon mein ashk bhar ke mujhse nazar mila ke
āñkhoñ meñ ashk bhar ke mujh se nazar milā ke
nīchī nigāh uTThī fitne na.e jagā ke
maiñ raag chheḌtā huuñ īmā-e-husn pā ke
dekho to merī jānib ik baar muskurā ke
duniyā-e-maslahat ke ye band kyā thameñge
baḌh jā.egā zamāna tūfāñ na.e uThā ke
jab chheḌtī haiñ un ko gumnām ārzūeñ
vo mujh ko dekhte haiñ merī nazar bachā ke
dīdār kī tamannā kal raat rakh rahī thī
ḳhvāboñ kī rah-guzar meñ sham.eñ jalā jalā ke
duurī ne laakh jalve taḳhlīq kar liye the
phir duur ho ga.e ham tere qarīb aa ke
shām-e-firāq aisā mahsūs ho rahā hai
har ek shai gañvā dī har ek shai ko pā ke
aa.ī hai yaad jin kī tūfān-e-dard ban ke
vo zaḳhm maiñ ne aksar khaa.e haiñ muskurā ke
merī nigāh-e-ġham meñ shikve hī sab nahīñ haiñ
ik baar idhar to dekho nīchī nazar uThā ke
ye dushmanī hai saaqī yā dostī hai saaqī
auroñ ko jaam denā mujh ko dikhā dikhā ke
dil ke qarīb shāyad tūfān uTh rahe hoñ
dekho to sher 'zaidī' ik roz gungunā ke
aankhon mein ashk bhar ke mujh se nazar mila ke
nichi nigah uTThi fitne nae jaga ke
main rag chheDta hun ima-e-husn pa ke
dekho to meri jaanib ek bar muskura ke
duniya-e-maslahat ke ye band kya thamenge
baDh jaega zamana tufan nae uTha ke
jab chheDti hain un ko gumnam aarzuen
wo mujh ko dekhte hain meri nazar bacha ke
didar ki tamanna kal raat rakh rahi thi
KHwabon ki rah-guzar mein shamen jala jala ke
duri ne lakh jalwe taKHliq kar liye the
phir dur ho gae hum tere qarib aa ke
sham-e-firaq aisa mahsus ho raha hai
har ek shai ganwa di har ek shai ko pa ke
aai hai yaad jin ki tufan-e-dard ban ke
wo zaKHm main ne aksar khae hain muskura ke
meri nigah-e-gham mein shikwe hi sab nahin hain
ek bar idhar to dekho nichi nazar uTha ke
ye dushmani hai saqi ya dosti hai saqi
auron ko jam dena mujh ko dikha dikha ke
dil ke qarib shayad tufan uTh rahe hon
dekho to sher 'zaidi' ek roz gunguna ke
