Teri nigah se ise bhi guman hua ki main hun

teri nigah se ise bhi guman hua ki main hun
wagarna dil to mera manta na tha ki main hun

ajib lamha wo didar-e-husn-e-yar ka tha
us ek pal ki tajalli mein ye khula ki main hun

na jaane be-KHabari ke wo kis maqam pe tha
nazar uThata to har gul pukarta ki main hun

tere jamal ki kuchh raushni si paDti hai
bata raha hai mujhe rang-e-aina ki main hun

jise bhula ke ye dil mutmain tha muddat se
kal us ke zikr pe ek ahd bol uTha ki main hun

par-e-zamana to parwaz-e-nur se bhi hai tez
kahan hai kaun tha jis ne abhi kaha ki main hun

kahan pe sarhad-e-na-bud-o-bud milti hai
subut ho ki na ho e'tibar kya ki main hun

hayat KHud hai dahan-e-nahang-e-la-yani
jo hai adam ka musafir hai main chala ki main hun

na raftagan hain na ab yaad-e-raftagan baqi
main kya hun juz ram-e-yak-mauja-e-fana ki main hun

mujh aise zarron ka hona na hona ek sa hai
bagule in se uThe to pata chala ki main hun

khula paDa hai sar-e-rah be-his-o-harakat
jo hath kal tak uTha chiKHta raha ki main hun

abhi tariq-e-tahammul nahin mizajon mein
abhi faqihon mein hangama hai bapa ki main hun

kahin kahin abhi tauqir-e-lafz baqi hai
suKHan sunai diya harf-e-dard ka ki main hun

ajib aalam-e-hu tha 'ziya' jab aaKHir-e-shab
kisi ko dil ne ye kahte hue suna ki main hun
