mushaf-e-rukhsar par zulf-e-pareshan dekh kar
hun pareshan kufr ke sae mein iman dekh kar

ai sitam-ijad ai ghaarat-gar-e-sabr-o-sukun
dil pareshan hai teri zulf-e-pareshan dekh kar

josh-e-wahshat mein jo aa nikla main gulshan ki taraf
hans pade hain gul mera chaak-e-gareban dekh kar

mauj-e-bahr-e-gham se khelen kyon na aashufta-mizaj
himmat-e-dil aur badh jati hai tufan dekh kar

sirf sabza hi nahin jaur-e-khizan se paemal
hai kali bhi muzmahil rang-e-gulistan dekh kar

un ki yaad aate hi dil yun kanp uthta hai 'riyaz'
jis tarah chaunke koi khwab-e-pareshan dekh kar
