dekhūñ to mire dil meñ utartā hai ziyāda
sho.ala ki tah-e-āb nikhartā hai ziyāda

kyā jāniye kyā baat hai ab dasht kī nisbat
dil ḳhāmushī-e-shahr se Dartā hai ziyāda

andar kā vahī rog use bhī hai mujhe bhī
bantā hai ziyāda vo sañvartā hai ziyāda

jo aañkh ke jalte hue sahrā se pare hai
bādal usī raste se guzartā hai ziyāda

ruḳh shahr kī jānib huā jañgal kī havā kā
aur shor mire dil meñ ubhartā hai ziyāda

'ja.afar' ye lagā zaḳhm-e-mohabbat bhī ajab hai
baḌhtā hai ziyāda jo na bhartā hai ziyāda

dekhun to mere dil mein utarta hai ziyaada
shoala ki tah-e-ab nikharta hai ziyaada

kya jaaniye kya baat hai ab dasht ki nisbat
dil KHamushi-e-shahr se Darta hai ziyaada

andar ka wahi rog use bhi hai mujhe bhi
banta hai ziyaada wo sanwarta hai ziyaada

jo aankh ke jalte hue sahra se pare hai
baadal usi raste se guzarta hai ziyaada

ruKH shahr ki jaanib hua jangal ki hawa ka
aur shor mere dil mein ubharta hai ziyaada

'jafar' ye laga zaKHm-e-mohabbat bhi ajab hai
baDhta hai ziyaada jo na bharta hai ziyaada
