ghubar uDta raha karwan ruka hi nahin
ġhubār uḌtā rahā kārvāñ rukā hī nahīñ
vo kho gayā to mujhe phir kabhī milā hī nahīñ
gavāh haiñ mire ghar ke ye bām-o-dar saare
ki tere ba.ad yahāñ dūsrā rahā hī nahīñ
na koī dar na darīcha na rauzan-o-dīvār
kahāñ se aa.e havā koī rāstā hī nahīñ
hazār rañg bhare laakh ḳhāl-o-ḳhad khīñche
sarāpā terā mukammal kabhī huā hī nahīñ
tamām raat ye āñkheñ talāsh kartī rahīñ
mirā sitāra magar āsmāñ pe thā hī nahīñ
maiñ kyā karūñ ye tirī sabz vādiyāñ le kar
yahāñ vo phuul jise dil kahīñ khilā hī nahīñ
'ziyā' maiñ ḳhud ko ye samjhā rahā huuñ barsoñ se
ki ye jahān tire vāste banā hī nahīñ
ghubar uDta raha karwan ruka hi nahin
wo kho gaya to mujhe phir kabhi mila hi nahin
gawah hain mere ghar ke ye baam-o-dar sare
ki tere baad yahan dusra raha hi nahin
na koi dar na daricha na rauzan-o-diwar
kahan se aae hawa koi rasta hi nahin
hazar rang bhare lakh KHal-o-KHad khinche
sarapa tera mukammal kabhi hua hi nahin
tamam raat ye aankhen talash karti rahin
mera sitara magar aasman pe tha hi nahin
main kya karun ye teri sabz wadiyan le kar
yahan wo phul jise dil kahin khila hi nahin
'ziya' main KHud ko ye samjha raha hun barson se
ki ye jahan tere waste bana hi nahin
