nazar nazar se milana koi mazaq nahin
mila ke aankh churana koi mazaq nahin

pahad kat to sakta hai tesha-e-farhad
pahad sar pe uthana koi mazaq nahin

udanen bharte rahen lakh tairan-e-khayal
sitare tod ke lana koi mazaq nahin

lahu lahu hai jigar dagh dagh hai sina
ye do dilon ka fasana koi mazaq nahin

hawaen aaj bhi aawara o pareshan hain
mahak gulon ki udana koi mazaq nahin

hazaron karwaten lete hain aasman o zamin
gire huon ko uthana koi mazaq nahin

ye aur baat bulaen na apni mahfil mein
magar 'ziya' ko bhulana koi mazaq nahin
