kisi se wasl mein sunte hi jaan sukh gai
chalo hato bhi hamari zaban sukh gai

ek aah-e-garm ne jhulsae khosha-e-anjum
tamam kheti teri aasman sukh gai

qayamat aur wo hangama phir qayamat ka
lahad se uthte hi dhadkon se jaan sukh gai

raha na baad mere hae koi aabla-pa
pukarte hain ye kante zaban sukh gai

shab-e-firaq ka aadha nahin raha tan-o-tosh
ye mere ghar jo hui mehman sukh gai

mila bhi hum ko to be-waqt is tarah khana
ki chawal ainth gae aur nan sukh gai

bahut hi phuli hui thi ye apni rangat par
jo dekha rang mera zafran sukh gai

hawa-e-garm khizan mein wo rang-o-rup kahan
thi andalib yunhi dhan-pan sukh gai

'riyaz' yaad hai un ka visal mein kahna
khuda ke waste chhodo zaban sukh gai
