Selected Poem by Zeeshan Mirza:
Dil mein aata hai aisa kar jaaun
Ishq mein had se yun guzar jaaun
Tujhse jodun mai dhadkane aise
Youn teri rooh mein bikhar jaaun
Teri in jheel jaisi aankhon mein
Banke baadal kabhi utar jaaun
Har wo rasta tumhi tak aata ho
Mai kissi raaste agar jaaun
Mujhse rootho na tum khuda ke kiye
Kahin aisa na ho ke mar jaaun
— Z.M.
