matlab ki baat shakl se pahchan jaiye
main kyun kahun zaban se khud jaan jaiye

aae wo naza mein bhi na hasrat nikalne
ab zer-e-khak le ke sab arman jaiye

us bholi bholi shakl ke ho jaiye nisar
un bholi bholi baaton ke qurban jaiye

banhen gale mein daliye bhi ab hansi-khushi
ye hai shab-e-visal kaha man jaiye

kya tha jo muskuraate hue kah gae abhi
khak aa ke mere dar ki zara chhan jaiye

mehman-nawaz un sa koi dusra nahin
ji mein hai un ke ghar kabhi mehman jaiye

hai qasd aaj hazrat-e-dil un ki bazm ka
allah aap ka hai nigahban jaiye

ja baithiye tunuk ke zara mujh se phir alag
be-kuchh kahe sune bhi bura man jaiye

bad-yumn mere haq mein hai subh-e-shab-e-visal
khole hue na baal pareshan jaiye

kya tab hai 'riyaz' tumhaari zaban ki
rangini-e-kalam ke qurban jaiye
