jo azal mein qalam chali so chali — Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

dil ki lahron kaa tul-o-arz na puchh
kabhu dariyaa kabhu safinaa hai

— Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

phaDkun to sar phaTe hai na phaDkun to ji ghaTe
tang is qadar diyaa mujhe sayyaad ne qafas

— Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

kabhu bimaar sun kar vo ayaadat ko to aataa thaa
hamein apne bhale hone se vo aazaar behtar thaa

— Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

meraa maashuq hai mazon mein bharaa
kabhu miThaa kabhu salonaa hai

— Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

dekhun huun tujh ko duur se baiThaa hazaar kos
ainak na chaahiye na yahaan durbin mujhe

— Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

bul-havas go karein tere lab-e-shirin par hujum
talkh mat ho ki miThaai se magas aati hai

— Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim
