kuchh aur pila nashat ki mai
ye lazzat-e-jism hai ajab shai

ab bhi wahi git hai wahi lai
hum wo nahin anjuman wahi hai

takhayyul mein har talab hai tahsil
jo baat kahin nahin yahan hai

karte tera intizar abad tak
lekin tera e'tibar ta-kai

mujh ko to na ras aai duri
tujh mein bhi wo baat ab nahin hai

diwangiyan kabhi miti hain
har-chand raha zamana darpai

samjhaen 'ziya' magar unhen kya
dil hi se na baat ho saki tai
