aankh khamosh nazar khali hai
dard ki rah-guzar khali hai

raushni samt badalne ko hai
arsa-e-shams-o-qamar khali hai

han mulaqat ki saat hai yahi
waqt ka pichhla pahar khali hai

aarzu dil mein nahin hai koi
ek muddat se ye ghar khali hai

uthte jate hain kharidar-e-junun
kisa-e-sher o asar khali hai

ab kisi dil mein nahin shauq-e-safar
jada-e-shahr-e-hunar khali hai

din guzarta nazar aata hi nahin
rang-e-imkan se sahar khali hai

sirf dil hi nahin sunsan 'ziya'
rawish-e-jaan bhi idhar khali hai
