dil-e-barbaad mein phir uski tamanna kyun hai
dil-e-barbād meñ phir us kī tamannā kyuuñ hai
har taraf shaam hai lekin ye ujālā kyuuñ hai
jis kī yādoñ ke diye ham ne bujhā rakkhe haiñ
phir vahī shaḳhs tasavvur meñ utartā kyuuñ hai
jāntā huuñ vo musāfir hai safar kartā hai
qarya-e-jāñ meñ magar aaj vo Thahrā kyuuñ hai
thak chukā hai tū añdheroñ meñ rahe merī tarah
chāñd ko kis kī talab hai ye nikaltā kyuuñ hai
maiñ vahī ḳhvāb huuñ palkoñ pe sajāyā thā jise
aaj ġhairoñ kī tarah tum ne pukārā kyuuñ hai
roz ik baat mire dil ko satātī hai 'ziyā'
is qadar TuuT ke tum ne use chāhā kyuuñ hai
dil-e-barbaad mein phir us ki tamanna kyun hai
har taraf sham hai lekin ye ujala kyun hai
jis ki yaadon ke diye hum ne bujha rakkhe hain
phir wahi shaKHs tasawwur mein utarta kyun hai
jaanta hun wo musafir hai safar karta hai
qarya-e-jaan mein magar aaj wo Thahra kyun hai
thak chuka hai tu andheron mein rahe meri tarah
chand ko kis ki talab hai ye nikalta kyun hai
main wahi KHwab hun palkon pe sajaya tha jise
aaj ghairon ki tarah tum ne pukara kyun hai
roz ek baat mere dil ko satati hai 'ziya'
is qadar TuT ke tum ne use chaha kyun hai
