ab ye aankhen kisi taskiin se tabinda nahin

ab ye aankhen kisi taskiin se tabinda nahin
maine rafta se ye jaana hai ke aainda nahin
dil ye viran dam-e-iisa hai gaye waqt ki yaad
kaun sa aalam ka ye rafta hai ke zinda nahin
tu bhi chahe toh na aayegi vo beeti hui raat
hai wahi chaand magar waisa darkhshanda nahin
kabhi gunche ko mahakane se koi rok saka
shauq agar hai toh izaakhaar se sharminda nahin

zia jalandhari ki shayyiri

kya sarokar ab kisi se mujhe
vasta tha toh tha tujhi se mujhe
behisi ka bhi ab nahin ehsaas
kya hua teri berukhi se mujhe
maut ki aarazu bhi kar dekhun
kya ummiiden thi zindgi se mujhe
phir kisi par na aitbaar aaye
yun utaaro na apne ji se mujhe
tera gham bhi na ho toh kya jeena
kuch tasalli hai dard hi se mujhe
kar gaye kis qadar tabaah 'zia'
dushman, andaaz-e-dosti se mujhe

zia jalandhari ki shayyiri

kya sarokar ab kisi se mujhe
vasta tha to tha tujhi se mujhe
behisi ka bhi ab nahi ehsaas
kya hua teri beruKhi se mujhe
maut ki aarzu bhi kar dekhu
kya ummide thi zindagi se mujhe
phir kisi par na aitbaar aaye
yu utaro na apne ji se mujhe
tera gam bhi na ho to kya jina
kuch tasali hai dard hi se mujhe
kar gaye kis qadar tabah 'zia'
dushman, andaaz-e-dosti se mujhe
