baat agar na karni thi kyun chaman mein aae the
rang kyun bikhera tha phul kyun khilae the

be-karan khalaon ki had bhi bandh deni thi
jab zamin banai thi aasman banae the

be-adab na the hum kuchh apni bhul itni thi
aap tak pahunch kar bhi aap mein na aae the

aansuon ki chadar ne dhak diya hamein warna
mang bhi sajai thi khwab bhi sajae the

aaj tere charnon ka rup hi nirala hai
aaj phul puja ke dhul se uthae the

ai 'raza' haqiqat to ab gale padi warna
boi thin ghataen bhi chand bhi ugae the
