rudad-e-shauq ye hai meri mukhtasar tamam
ranaiyon mein kho gaya zauq-e-nazar tamam

guzra hai gul-badan koi meri talash mein
mahki hui hai aaj meri rahguzar tamam

wo din bhi kya the jab thi hawaon se guftugu
ab hum se baat karte hain diwar-o-dar tamam

khud apna ehtisab gawara nahin unhen
auron mein aib dhundte hain dida-war tamam

tanhaiyan nasib ka unwan ban gain
ek ek kar ke chhut gae ham-safar tamam

hone lage hain meri khamoshi pe tabsire
ab jaan le ke chhodenge ye chaaragar tamam

kya soch kar chale the 'ziya' rah-e-shauq mein
shayad na ho sake ye safar umr-bhar tamam
