dil ka sukun aankh ka tara kise kahen
ye sochna pada hai ki apna kise kahen

ye shor-e-inqalab ye naqus ye azan
hangama kaun sa hai tamasha kise kahen

rahbaniyat ka jism se fastaiyat ki ruh
kis ko rafiq khun ka pyasa kise kahen

sab milte-julte chehre hain dushman bhi dost bhi
qatil kise bataen masiha kise kahen

har zarra-e-haqir hai ham-dosh mehr-o-mah
is pattharon ke dher mein hira kise kahen

itna shuur de hamein khallaq khair-o-shar
khar-o-zabun hai kaun farishta kise kahen

milna tha jo nasib se wo mil gaya 'ziya'
hasrat kise bataen tamanna kise kahen
