nazar ab farigh-ul-baali ke aate hain nahin sae
hamari tang-dasti ne kahan tak panw phailae

ghazab hai ye kisi ki aarzu par os pad jae
irada muskurane ka kare aur aankh bhar aae

bashar majbur ho kar hi to pi jata hai aansu ko
agar aisa na ho to kya khushi se koi gham khae

meri tar-damani par zahidan-e-khushk hanste hain
main nazan us ki rahmat par ye sajdon par hain itrae

agar kuchh lutf pine ka uthana hai to ai rindo
chale us waqt daur-e-jam jab kali ghata chhae

daraazi-e-shab-e-gham ki shikayat ke ewaz hamdam
agar kuchh aap-biti hi kahen to raat kat jae

safar tanha hi karte hain adam ka ai 'riyazi' sab
na sath ahbab dete hain na hamdam aur hamsae
