jalwon ka un ke dil ko talab-gar kar diya
ai shauq kis bala mein giraftar kar diya

ek ho gaya izafa meri zindagi mein aur
tum ne jo dil ko mail-e-azar kar diya

dil ki mujhe khabar hai na dil ko meri khabar
milte hi aankh kya nigah-e-yar kar diya

dil-bastagi ke waste dil ko lagaya tha
ummid hasraton ne ek aazar kar diya

rakh li junun ne baat meri un ke samne
har aable se khar numudar kar diya

hain sakhtiyan badhi hui zindan mein aaj-kal
do-gam chalna bhi mujhe dushwar kar diya

ye kaisa rog dil ko laga intizar ka
aankhon ko un ka talib-e-didar kar diya

kis ne karam kiya ye mere haal-e-zar par
is be-khudi-e-ishq se hoshyar kar diya

main ne chhupaya lakh magar ashk-e-gham ne aah
ai 'raaz' raaz-e-shauq ka izhaar kar diya
