meri bayaz-e-sher pe wo nam likh gaya
ek khwab aur ek hasin sham likh gaya

dil us ko dhundhta hai usi ki talash hai
chupke se ek dua jo mere nam likh gaya

phir us se kab ho meri mulaqat dekhiye
aaghaz hi mein jo mera anjam likh gaya

jalti zamin pe main hi khada tha koi na tha
jhonka hawa ka aaya to sau nam likh gaya

khushbu tha wo ki ek nai rut naya saman
chupke se mere nam jo ye sham likh gaya

wo mujh se chhin kar meri binaiyan tamam
patthar ka kaisa shahr mere nam likh gaya

khud apni aag hi mein jala hun magar 'rais'
sab ke liye mahakti hui sham likh gaya
