kis liye sahra ke muhtaj-e-tamasha hojiye
chaak kije sine ko aur aaphi sahra hojiye

kushta-e-lab ho ke kije jawedan ab zindagi
kyun abas minnat-kash-e-khizr-o-masiha hojiye

chashm-e-ahwal sab ko dekhe hai ziyaada aap se
ain binai hai gar is tarah bina hojiye

kab talak sar-gashta rahiye din ko misl-e-gard-baad
raat ko jun shama jalne ko muhayya hojiye

is qadar hum dil-girafta hain ki mushkil hai bahut
us ke band-e-jama wa hone pe bhi wa hojiye

mujh se ye mahjubi aur dushman se aisa ikhtilat
sharm kije bewafai mein na ruswa hojiye

aana yun tewri chadhae munh banae faeda
gar yahi surat hai mat tashrif-farma hojiye

bul-hawas ka yun hadaf kije nishana tir ka
ghafil apni qadar se be-dard itna hojiye

jun jaras baam-o-dar-e-har-khana se utthega shor
mat safar se hashr barpa saz-e-suhha hojiye

khana viran kar ke diwane bane tis par 'raza'
kuchh na hoe phir bhala kya kijiye kya hojiye
