guman tha ya teri KHushbu yaqin ab bhi nahin
gumāñ thā yā tirī ḳhushbū yaqīn ab bhī nahīñ
nahīñ havā pe bharosa to kuchh ajab bhī nahīñ
khileñ to kaise khileñ phuul ujaaḌ sahrā meñ
sahāb-e-ḳhvāb nahīñ girya-e-talab bhī nahīñ
hañsī meñ chhup na sakī āñsuoñ se dhul na sakī
ajab udāsī hai jis kā koī sabab bhī nahīñ
Thahar gayā hai mire dil meñ ik zamāne se
vo vaqt jis kī sahar bhī nahīñ hai shab bhī nahīñ
tamām umr tire iltifāt ko tarsā
vo shaḳhs jo hadaf-e-nāvak-e-ġhazab bhī nahīñ
gilā karo to vo kahte haiñ yuuñ raho jaise
tumhāre chehroñ pe āñkheñ nahīñ haiñ lab bhī nahīñ
mufāhamat na kar arzāñ na ho bharam na gañvā
har ik nafas ho agar ik salīb tab bhī nahīñ
burā na maan 'ziyā' us kī sāf-goī kā
jo dard-mand bhī hai aur be-adab bhī nahīñ
guman tha ya teri KHushbu yaqin ab bhi nahin
nahin hawa pe bharosa to kuchh ajab bhi nahin
khilen to kaise khilen phul ujaD sahra mein
sahab-e-KHwab nahin girya-e-talab bhi nahin
hansi mein chhup na saki aansuon se dhul na saki
ajab udasi hai jis ka koi sabab bhi nahin
Thahar gaya hai mere dil mein ek zamane se
wo waqt jis ki sahar bhi nahin hai shab bhi nahin
tamam umr tere iltifat ko tarsa
wo shaKHs jo hadaf-e-nawak-e-ghazab bhi nahin
gila karo to wo kahte hain yun raho jaise
tumhaare chehron pe aankhen nahin hain lab bhi nahin
mufahamat na kar arzan na ho bharam na ganwa
har ek nafas ho agar ek salib tab bhi nahin
bura na man 'ziya' us ki saf-goi ka
jo dard-mand bhi hai aur be-adab bhi nahin
