Zia Jalandhari
tiri nigah se ise bhi guman hua ki main huun
vagarna dil to mira manta na tha ki main huun
ajiib lamha vo didar-e-husn-e-yar ka tha
us ek pal ki tajalli men ye khula ki main huun
na jaane be-ḳhabari ke vo kis maqam pe tha
nazar uThata to har gul pukarta ki main huun
tire jamal ki kuchh raushni si paḌti hai
bata raha hai mujhe rang-e-a.ina ki main huun
jise bhula ke ye dil mutma.in tha muddat se
kal us ke zikr pe ik ahd bol uTha ki main huun
par-e-zamana to parvaz-e-nur se bhi hai tez
kahan hai kaun tha jis ne abhi kaha ki main huun
kahan pe sarhad-e-na-bud-o-bud milti hai
subut ho ki na ho e’tibar kya ki main huun
hayat ḳhud hai dahan-e-nahang-e-la-ya.ani
jo hai adam ka musafir hai main chala ki main huun
na raftagan hain na ab yad-e-raftagan baaqi
main kya huun juz ram-e-yak-mauja-e-fana ki main huun
mujh aise zarron ka hona na hona ek sa hai
bagule in se uThe to pata chala ki main huun
khula paḌa hai sar-e-rah be-his-o-harakat
jo haath kal tak uTha chiḳhta raha ki main huun
abhi tariq-e-tahammul nahin mizajon men
abhi faqihon men hangama hai bapa ki main huun
kahin kahin abhi tauqir-e-lafz baaqi hai
suḳhan suna.i diya harf-e-dard ka ki main huun
ajiib alam-e-hu tha ‘ziya’ jab aḳhir-e-shab
kisi ko dil ne ye kahte hue suna ki main huuntiri nigah se ise bhi guman hua ki main huun
