ab tak isi KHayal mein uljha hua hun main
ab tak isī ḳhayāl meñ uljhā huā huuñ maiñ
apne badal ga.e haiñ ki badlā huā huuñ maiñ
dīvār-o-dar ko dekh ke lagtā hai dilbarā
terī galī se pahle bhī guzrā huā huuñ maiñ
bikhre hue se baal haiñ dāman hai taar taar
puurī tarah se hijr meñ sañvarā huā huuñ maiñ
shāyad ki ek roz vo aa kar sameT le
muddat se kū-e-yār meñ bikhrā huā huuñ maiñ
bāda-kashī ke ba.ad to aayā huuñ hosh meñ
duniyā samajh rahī hai ki bahkā huā huuñ maiñ
yā-rab ye zindagānī meñ kaisā jumūd hai
Thahrā huā hai vaqt yā Thahrā huā huuñ maiñ
aayā huuñ apne shahr to lagtā hai yuuñ 'zakī'
jaise ki ek dasht meñ bhaTkā huā huuñ maiñ
ab tak isi KHayal mein uljha hua hun main
apne badal gae hain ki badla hua hun main
diwar-o-dar ko dekh ke lagta hai dilbara
teri gali se pahle bhi guzra hua hun main
bikhre hue se baal hain daman hai tar tar
puri tarah se hijr mein sanwara hua hun main
shayad ki ek roz wo aa kar sameT le
muddat se ku-e-yar mein bikhra hua hun main
baada-kashi ke baad to aaya hun hosh mein
duniya samajh rahi hai ki bahka hua hun main
ya-rab ye zindagani mein kaisa jumud hai
Thahra hua hai waqt ya Thahra hua hun main
aaya hun apne shahr to lagta hai yun 'zaki'
jaise ki ek dasht mein bhaTka hua hun main
