phir ek nai khalish ki shuruat ho gai
dil jis se dar raha tha wahi baat ho gai

kya meri un ki baat hui ye na puchhiye
ab kya bataun ho gai jo baat ho gai

wo muskura ke ek nazar mujh ko dekh len
ye baat ho gai to badi baat ho gai

hum rah-rawan-e-shauq ki manzil na puchhiye
din ho gaya kahin to kahin raat ho gai

daman jo tar hua to 'ziya' yun laga mujhe
jaise koi ghata uthi barsat ho gai
