tamasha-gah hai ya aalam-e-be-rang-o-bu kya hai
main kis se puchhne jaun ki mere ru-ba-ru kya hai
basarat kah rahi hai kuchh nahin is dasht-e-wahshat mein
samaat puchhti hai phir ye aaKHir haw-hu kya hai
ye kis ki aamad-o-shud se hawaen raqs karti hain
ye kyun mausam badalte hain miyan-e-rang-o-bu kya hai
dar-o-diwar kya kahte hain ghar kis ko bulata hai
guzarte mausamon se baam-o-dar ki guftugu kya hai
dikhai kyun nahin deta mujhe us par ka manzar
ye ek diwar jaisi chashm-e-tar ke ru-ba-ru kya hai
main us ke samne ek aaina le ja ke rakh dunga
'ziya' apni zaban se kyun kahun us se ki tu kya hai
Ghazal
Tamasha-gah hai ya aalam-e-be-rang-o-bu kya hai
