yaad aate hain bar bar hamein
kar gae hain jo be-qarar hamein

hum khizan ki na aarzu karte
ras aati agar bahaar hamein

ek halki jhalak masarrat ki
kar gai gham se ham-kanar hamein

fart-e-girya se surkh hain aankhen
log kahte hain baada-khwar hamein

gum rahe hum khizan ke sae mein
dhundhti rah gai bahaar hamein

rahrawan-e-rah-e-mohabbat hain
jaanti hai ye rahguzar hamein

kho gae hain nishan manzil ke
tu ne bhatka diya ghubar hamein

ai 'ziya' un ki mehrbani se
ho gaya hai ghamon se pyar hamein
