ranj rahat-asar na ho jaae
dard ka dil men ghar na ho jaae
munh chhupana pade na dushman se
ai shab-e-gham sahar na ho jaae
kufr manzur hai mujhe dil se
vo musalman agar na ho jaae
haath uljha rahe gareban men
chaak daman udhar na ho jaae
hai ‘zahir’ ek mard-e-sanjida
haan jo ashufta-sar na ho jaae
