kabhi hudud se bahar kabhi wo had mein raha
mera yaqin hamesha guman ki zad mein raha

hai bahr-o-bar mein rawan haal mera sayyara
gahe wo burj-e-samak mein gahe asad mein raha

usi ke dam se rahi zindagi ki rangini
junun ka kaif jo paimana-e-khirad mein raha

use nasib kahan lazzat-e-sabil-e-safar
wo karwan jo nigahbani-e-rasad mein raha

use kahan se milegi tere makan mein aman
tamam-umr jau paikar-e-nek-o-bad mein raha

'raza' jo guzra to kuchh raushni bhi chhod gaya
wo ek sharar tha jo andesha-e-abad mein raha
