KHun ke dariya bah jate hain KHair aur KHair ke bich

ḳhuun ke dariyā bah jaate haiñ ḳhair aur ḳhair ke biich

apne-āp meñ sab sachche haiñ masjid o dair ke biich

laag ho yā ki lagan ho donoñ ek diye kī laveñ

ek hī raushnī lahrātī hai pyaar aur bair ke biich

dil meñ dhuup khile to añdhere chhaT jaate haiñ aap

ab ham farq ravā nahīñ rakhte yaar aur ġhair ke biich

soch-samajh sab sach hai lekin dil kī baat hai aur

duur thī yuuñ to aañkh bhañvar kī pahuñchā tair ke biich

jaate ho pa qadam uThne se pahle dhyān rahe

umr kā fāsla ho saktā hai pair aur pair ke biich

dekhtī aañkh 'ziyā' hairāñ hai dekh ke dahr ke rañg

pal kī pal meñ badal jaate haiñ manzar sair ke biich

KHun ke dariya bah jate hain KHair aur KHair ke bich

apne-ap mein sab sachche hain masjid o dair ke bich

lag ho ya ki lagan ho donon ek diye ki lawen

ek hi raushni lahraati hai pyar aur bair ke bich

dil mein dhup khile to andhere chhaT jate hain aap

ab hum farq rawa nahin rakhte yar aur ghair ke bich

soch-samajh sab sach hai lekin dil ki baat hai aur

dur thi yun to aankh bhanwar ki pahuncha tair ke bich

jate ho pa qadam uThne se pahle dhyan rahe

umr ka fasla ho sakta hai pair aur pair ke bich

dekhti aankh 'ziya' hairan hai dekh ke dahr ke rang

pal ki pal mein badal jate hain manzar sair ke bich
