jo guftugu se qaum ka rahbar laga mujhe

jo guftugu se qaum ka rahbar laga mujhe
jab ham-safar bana to bahut dar laga mujhe
jab ashk un ki aankh ke palkon tak aa gae
ghar ka har ek gosha munawwar laga mujhe


le kar udasiyan jo teri bazm se utha
behad ujad shahr ka manzar laga mujhe
apne wujud ka liya jab jab bhi jaeza
har shakhs apni zat se behtar laga mujhe


tark-e-wafa ka jis ne bhi mujh ko diya sabaq
har aisa dost rah ka patthar laga mujhe
tha us ki baat-chit mein kaisa ye bankpan
aaina saf tha magar aazar laga mujhe


'rizwan' us ke khwab bahut hi hasin the
bahr-e-wafa ka jo bhi shanawar laga mujhe
