dil mein jo kuchh hai abhi us ki pazirai nahin
main ki khushbu hun pa khulne ki ghadi aai nahin

an-kahi baat ke sau rup kahi baat ka ek
kabhi sun wo bhi jo minnat-kash-e-goyai nahin

meri nazron mein hai khilte hue phulon ki tarah
wo nami jo abhi shakhon mein bhi lahrai nahin

kya manazir the ki jo dekhti aankhon dekhe
khwab bunta hun ki aasuda-e-binai nahin

sabhi dana sabhi sar dal ke chup baith rahe
ki yahan koi bhi shaista-e-ruswai nahin

dil bujha ho to gul-e-naghma bhi nashtar hai 'ziya'
shiddat-e-gham ka ilaj anjuman-arai nahin
