ye aansu ye pashemaani kaa izhaar — Zia Jalandhari

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

rang baatein karein aur baaton se khushbu aae
dard phulon ki tarah mahke agar tu aae

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

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

ye zindagi hai apni kabhi khush kabhi udaas
is kashmakash se mujh ko khudaayaa rihaai de

kisi aankh mein niind aae to jaanun
miraa qissa-e-gham kahaani nahin hai

daaman-o-jeb-o-garebaan kaa nahin koi malaal
gham ye hai dast-e-junun kal ke liye kaam nahin
