soz-e-gham ranj-o-alam had se siwa dete hain
wo bhi kya khub mohabbat ka sila dete hain

ishq ki rah mein marte nahin marne wale
ishq ko zinda-e-jawed bana dete hain

kis tarah jaan se jate hain marizan-e-alam
aaiye aaj ye manzar bhi dikha dete hain

kya guzarti hai kisi par unhen ye kya malum
wo to parda rukh-e-raushan se utha dete hain

tum 'ziya' kis ko sunate ho fasana dil ka
wo to har baat ka afsana bana dete hain
