khwab mein bhi nazar aa jae jo ghar ki surat
phad khaen tere darban sag-e-dar ki surat

aisi bigde na ilahi kisi ghar ki surat
wahi diwar ki surat hai jo dar ki surat

par-shikasta hun tah-e-shakh pada rahne de
baghban tu mujhe tute hue par ki surat

chhutta hi nahin ab arsh-e-khuda baam-e-butan
dekh li hai kahin nalon ne asar ki surat

ghere rahta hai bagula mujhe ab ek na ek
ki hai paida mere sahra ne bhi ghar ki surat

jaan jae ki rahe aap ke aate aate
aur se aur hai ab dard-e-jigar ki surat

pani ho jate hain aansu mere moti ban kar
warna achchhi to na thi un se guhar ki surat

kucha-e-zulf mein jate hue dil darta hai
har qadam par hai nai khauf-o-khatar ki surat

kabhi phula na phula nakhl-e-tamanna afsos
phul ki shakl na dekhi na samar ki surat

ghair ki qabr hai gulshan hai na daman un ka
mujh se dekhi nahin jati gul-e-tar ki surat

chaaragar aate hain to aankh chura jate hain
aisi bigdi hai mere zakhm-e-jigar ki surat

aashiyane ko chale bagh mein muddat guzri
phirti hai aankh mein kyun barq-o-sharar ki surat

ghar se be-fikr main sahra mein phira karta hun
meri aankhon mein phira karti hai ghar ki surat

qais bhatka tha ki sahra mein 'riyaz' aae nazar
rahnuma us ke bane aap khizar ki surat
