muddaton se udaas baiThi huun
le ke tasvir-e-yas baiThi huun
tishnagi ka gila karun kis se
jab main dariya ke paas baiThi
jis pe tahzib ke sitare hain
main vo pahne libas baiThi huun
bint-e-havva pe har taraf ḳhatra
mahv-e-ḳhauf-o-hiras baiThi huun
sukhe honTon ko dekhte kya ho
le ke sadiyon ki pyaas baiThi huun
jaan jaa.e ya ye rahe ‘zaryab’
haq hai ki haq-shanas baiThi huun
