meri zat ka hayula teri zat ki ikai
mirī zaat kā hayūlā tirī zaat kī ikaa.ī
koī ham-safar hai merā ki hai terī ḳhud-numā.ī
maiñ huuñ pur-sukūñ azal se maiñ huuñ pur-sukūñ abad tak
magar aañkh kah rahī hai nahīñ tujh se āshnā.ī
maiñ to luT chukā zamāne! mire paas kyā rahā hai
mire hoñT sil chuke haiñ maiñ bhalā duuñ kyā duhā.ī
ye farār kā hai lamha ki qarār kī hai sūrat
tirī chāñd sī jabīñ par nahīñ dāġh-e-bevafā.ī
yahī umr bhar kā dukh hai yahī zindagī kā sukh hai
na koī fareb-e-hastī na shu.ūr-e-dil-rubā.ī
maiñ to kal bhī thā safar meñ maiñ huuñ aaj bhī safar meñ
vahī daur merī manzil vahī merī jag-hañsā.ī
maiñ 'zuhair' sochtā huuñ kabhī zaḳhm nochtā huuñ
jaane kab nasīb jaage mile fikr se rihā.ī
meri zat ka hayula teri zat ki ikai
koi ham-safar hai mera ki hai teri KHud-numai
main hun pur-sukun azal se main hun pur-sukun abad tak
magar aankh kah rahi hai nahin tujh se aashnai
main to luT chuka zamane! mere pas kya raha hai
mere honT sil chuke hain main bhala dun kya duhai
ye farar ka hai lamha ki qarar ki hai surat
teri chand si jabin par nahin dagh-e-bewafai
yahi umr bhar ka dukh hai yahi zindagi ka sukh hai
na koi fareb-e-hasti na shuur-e-dil-rubai
main to kal bhi tha safar mein main hun aaj bhi safar mein
wahi daur meri manzil wahi meri jag-hansai
main 'zuhair' sochta hun kabhi zaKHm nochta hun
jaane kab nasib jage mile fikr se rihai
