rang baatein karein aur baaton se khushbu aae — Zia Jalandhari

buraa na maan 'ziyaa' us ki saaf-goi kaa
jo dard-mand bhi hai aur be-adab bhi nahin

himmat hai to buland kar aavaaz kaa alam
chup baiThne se hal nahin hone kaa masala

ishq mein bhi koi anjaam huaa kartaa hai
ishq mein yaad hai aaghaaz hi aaghaaz mujhe

ye aansu ye pashemaani kaa izhaar
mujhe ik baar phir bahkaa gai ho

tu koi sukhaa huaa patta nahin hai ki jise
jis taraf mauj-e-havaa chaahe uDaa kar le jaae

abr-e-aavaara se mujh ko hai vafaa ki ummid
barq-e-betaab se shikva hai ki paainda nahin

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

Hazaaron khwahishein aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle
Bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle

bhiiD ke khauf se phir ghar ki taraf lauT aayaa
ghar se jab shahr mein tanhaai ke Dar se niklaa

khudaa ko maan ki tujh lab ke chumne ke sivaa
koi ilaaj nahin aaj ki udaasi kaa
