main bik jata mujhe inkar kab tha
yahan par misr ka bazar kab tha

mulaqaten bhi rasman ho rahi thin
dilon mein jazba-e-isar kab tha

main us ko maut se bhi chhin lata
wo jine ke liye tayyar kab tha

agar kuchh hausla hota to chalte
wafa ka rasta dushwar kab tha

'ziya' main sare bandhan tod deta
tumhaare waste inkar kab tha
