kuchh bhi na ab kahenge qafas mein zaban se hum
sayyaad ko rulaenge aah-o-fughan se hum

mayusiyon ke shahr mein lagta nahin hai dil
le jaen apne dil ko kahan is jahan se hum

gulshan jahan jahan hain wahin bijliyan bhi hain
jaen nikal ke dur kahan aasman se hum

imshab mizaj-e-yar mein kuchh barhami si hai
guzre hain bar bar isi imtihan se hum

dete rahe fareb mohabbat ke raste
pahunche hain phir wahin ki chale the jahan se hum

wo le gae hain chand-sitaron ki raushni
kahte rahe fasana-e-gham aasman se hum

khairaat-e-husn kasa-e-'rizwi' mein dal de
kuchh le ke hi uthenge tere aastan se hum
