hadon ke na hone ki zillat se haare hue
abad ke mujassam kinare hamare hue

nafas ke dayaron mein ghola tha ek lams hi
nikal aae sare falak se utare hue

ab apni nafi mein zara ghota-zan ho hi len
ki sadiyan huin khud ko khud se ubhaare hue

parai siyahi ki aaghosh mein kya mile
jo khud dil ki zad par jale wo sitare hue

khuda ki khamoshi mein shayad ho us ka wajud
zamana hua nam apna pukare hue

adhure jahanon ke tewar adhure 'riyaz'
ye sab meri takmil ke istiare hue
