Zehra Nigaah
vo jo ik shakl mire chaar taraf bikhri thi
main ne jab ghaur se dekha to miri apni thi
phir asiron pe kisi khvab ne jaadu daala
raat kuchh halqa-e-zanjir men khamoshi thi
yuun to adab-e-mohabbat men sabhi jaaez tha
phir bhi chup rahne men ik shaan dil-avezi thi
raat bhar jagne valon ne pas-e-shama-e-zard
subh ik khvab ki surat ki tarah dekhi thi
shorish-e-sher men khamosh si kyuun hai ‘zehra’
achchha-khasa to kabhi vo bhi kaha karti thi
