muD ke dekhun to nahin koi magar lagta hai
ek saya sa pas-e-gard-e-safar lagta hai
kan dharta hun to hoti hai samaat majruh
apni hi KHwahish-e-be-bak se Dar lagta hai
is tamashe se nikal panw to ghar bhi dekhun
ye tamasha jo sar-e-rahguzar lagta hai
nind aa jae to phir dhup na saya koi
panw thak jaen to pardes bhi ghar lagta hai
aankh uThata hun to hai rah mein hail diwar
panw rakhta hun to diwar mein dar lagta hai
kya qayamat hai ki aata hai na jata hai koi
ek hayula pas-e-diwar magar lagta hai
baat karta hun to maKHmur sa ho jata hun
us ki baaton mein 'ziya' mai ka asar lagta hai
Ghazal
MuD ke dekhun to nahin koi magar lagta hai
