dukh tamasha to nahin hai ki dikhaen baba
dukh tamāshā to nahīñ hai ki dikhā.eñ baabā
ro chuke aur na ab ham ko rulā.eñ baabā
kaisī dahshat hai ki ḳhvāhish se bhī Dar lagtā hai
munjamid ho ga.ī hoñToñ pe duā.eñ baabā
maut hai narm-dilī ke liye badnām un meñ
haiñ yahāñ aur bhī kuchh aisī balā.eñ baabā
daaġh dikhlā.eñ ham un ko to ye miT jā.eñge kyā
ġham-gusāroñ se kaho yuuñ na satā.eñ baabā
ham-safīrān-e-chaman yaad to karte hoñge
par qafas tak nahīñ ātīñ vo sadā.eñ baabā
patte shāḳhoñ se baraste rahe ashkoñ kī tarah
raat bhar chaltī rahīñ tez havā.eñ baabā
aag jañgal meñ bhaḌaktī hai 'ziyā' shahr meñ baat
kaise bhaḌke hue sho.aloñ ko bujhā.eñ baabā
dukh tamasha to nahin hai ki dikhaen baba
ro chuke aur na ab hum ko rulaen baba
kaisi dahshat hai ki KHwahish se bhi Dar lagta hai
munjamid ho gai honTon pe duaen baba
maut hai narm-dili ke liye badnam un mein
hain yahan aur bhi kuchh aisi balaen baba
dagh dikhlaen hum un ko to ye miT jaenge kya
gham-gusaron se kaho yun na sataen baba
ham-safiran-e-chaman yaad to karte honge
par qafas tak nahin aatin wo sadaen baba
patte shaKHon se baraste rahe ashkon ki tarah
raat bhar chalti rahin tez hawaen baba
aag jangal mein bhaDakti hai 'ziya' shahr mein baat
kaise bhaDke hue shoalon ko bujhaen baba
