jo ek pal ko bujhe bazm-e-rang-o-bu ke charagh
to hum ne dar pe raushan kiye lahu ke charagh

hawa-e-tira-nasab kya bujha sakegi unhen
ki aandhiyon mein bhi jalte hain aarzu ke charagh

ada-e-mausam-e-gul ka kamal kya kahiye
kali kali se farozan hue numu ke charagh

bujhi jo subh to sinon mein dil jalae gae
hui jo sham to raushan hue subu ke charagh

ye naqsh-e-pa hain mere ya sawad-e-manzil tak
qadam qadam pe numayan hain justuju ke charagh

kabhi kabhi to 'ziya' wo bhi waqt aata hai
bujhane padte hain khud apni aarzu ke charagh
