hujūm-e-yās meñ jiinā bhī ik azaab huā
yahī huā ki mohabbat meñ dil ḳharāb huā

chhupā huā hai jo chehra hayā ke dāman meñ
na koī ā.īna us husn kā javāb huā

baham ulajhte rahe shaiḳh-o-barahman ab tak
jo ham uThe to zamāne meñ inqalāb huā

tumhāre hukm pe hastī miTā chuke ham to
magar hamārī vafāoñ kā kyā javāb huā

mirī navā se larazne lagā nizām-e-kohan
mirā payām 'ziyā' vaj.h-e-inqalāb huā

hujum-e-yas mein jina bhi ek azab hua
yahi hua ki mohabbat mein dil KHarab hua

chhupa hua hai jo chehra haya ke daman mein
na koi aaina us husn ka jawab hua

baham ulajhte rahe shaiKH-o-barahman ab tak
jo hum uThe to zamane mein inqalab hua

tumhaare hukm pe hasti miTa chuke hum to
magar hamari wafaon ka kya jawab hua

meri nawa se larazne laga nizam-e-kohan
mera payam 'ziya' wajh-e-inqalab hua
