hijr mein nale kiye main ne ye nadani hui
wo pareshan kya hue mujh ko pareshani hui

dekh kar husn-e-tasawwur sab ko hairani hui
mat dil ke samne naqqashi hai mani hui

allah allah khud qafas sarsabz hai shadab hai
khatm ashkon se mere rasm-e-nigahbani hui

garche aansu ban gae ulfat mein sar-rashk-e-guhar
girte hi aankhon se ek ek bund nisani hui

nazr-e-atish ho gaya parwana hanste khelte
alwidaa-e-zindagi mein kitni aasani hui

dekh kar gul-kariyan ashkon ki wo hain multafit
kar-amad aaj meri gul-ba-damani hui

wo shab-e-wada achanak ai 'ziya' jab aa gae
mere gham-khane ke har zarre mein tabani hui
