makan dekhe makin dekhe la-makan dekha
kahan kahan tujhe dhunda kahan kahan dekha

zara jo hum ne unhen aaj mehrban dekha
na hum se puchhiye kya rang-e-asman dekha

na pahunche baam-e-qafas tak kabhi mere nale
wo barq hogi jise gard-e-ashiyan dekha

jhuka jhuka hai to han gir pade mere sar par
yahi na yas se tha su-e-asman dekha

bahut se rind bhi dekhe bahut se zahid bhi
unhen to pir hamesha inhen jawan dekha

ab aarzuen bar aain ki khak mein mil jaen
khuda ne din ye dikhaya unhen jawan dekha

ye jaante hain ki dil khak ho gaya jal kar
na aag dekhi na uthte hue dhuan dekha

bahut hi roe gale mil ke ek ek se hum
luta hua jo koi hum ne karwan dekha

qafas mein roke sitam tere dekh len sayyaad
chaman mein rah ke bahut lutf-e-baghban dekha

'riyaz' khak-e-dar-e-mai-kada tha jite-ji
fana ke baad use khuld-ashiyan dekha
